(updated on Thursday, March 16th 2017)

Is there a minimum time that I have to live in a property myself (paying 20% deposit) before I can move and rent the place out?

Our Experts Answer:

I don’t believe there is anything formally stated but the generally accepted opinion for your situation is six months.
