Thanks for this. I've been reading up on CGT, to be honest I find it all quite confusing but I know someone here who can help me with the form thankfully.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write all the above. Some great tips there that I hadn't considered and will definitely act upon. I live in the Isle of Man so can't check on the property but will definitely ask a couple of the neighbours to keep an eye on it.

Thanks for your reply. I live in the Isle of Man so wasn't sure if I could join other providers but I will certainly try this. It's currently under British Gas and they do have a standing charge. Trying to ring them is impossible, I managed to chat online to an advisor but they were basically copying and pasting stuff I had read on the internet! If the house isn't sold by October I will possibly put it back for rent but if not I'll get the CH system drained.

Hello, I have one rental property which will be empty for the first time at the end of this month. What is best practice whilst waiting to sell the property? Do I have water, gas, electric turned off? If I keep the utilities on are there any tariffs that will be cost effective? I've read different approaches regarding utilities, some people have their central heating system drained and turn the water off. I'm hoping for a quick sale and if I can't sell within six months I will let it out again. Any advice with experienced landlords would be greatly appreciated. Best regards Anita
