\nL was a property owner living abroad for 6 months each year. She needed a way to secure her property and keep it well-maintained. She initially shared her house, but decided it offered limited flexibility and control over how the property was maintained while she was abroad.
\nHaving recognised the appeal of letting a London property while living abroad, she partnered with City Relay to help transform her home into an income-generating opportunity from miles away.
\nLike many overseas landlords, L faced key challenges:
