Renting out a property on Skilled Worker Visa

Post by rioust » Fri Dec 22, 2023 6:31 pm

Hi,

I have purchased a property last year.

But due to a job change, I will have to relocate and have to rent out the property to cover the mortgage. I have a few questions :

1. Since I am on Skilled Worker visa, can I rent out the property and declare the income in annual Self Assessment? Will it breach any SW visa rules?

2. Does renting out a House (rental income) impact switching from SW to ILR?

3. My spouse doesn't work so if the rental income comes in her account (she is on SW dependent visa) and annual rent is under £12,750 threshold presumably she will not have to pay any tax.

Can anyone please advise?

In general terms it will not be a problem as long as it is just one property you are letting out. If you make your spouse the income receiver that will not be an issue.
