Ted, what are you doing?

I’m blowing up my lilo

Why on earth are you doing that? We only started discussing MAYBE going travelling around Australia about 5 minutes ago!

 It’s always best to be prepared you know Smudge, I’ve already lathered myself with factor 50 as well.

…. but we’re in England and it is about 0 degrees.

Us fair complexioned doggies can never be too careful though, there might be some sun glare.

Right, okay then Mr Prepared, what have you done to start the process of letting our kennel out to Simon the Sausage Dog while we’re away?

 Ah umm, well… not a lot really. You underestimate the time it takes to blow up a lilo

 I guess I’LL look into it then. We want our home to be perfect when we decide we want to come back.

 Well the Maxine Lester team will do that for us if we ask them nicely, they treat properties as if they’re their own homes, and I’ve seen their homes – I’d trust ’em!

  Excellent suggestion Ted, you’ve redeemed yourself. That’s the thing with letting until you return, it’s not like an investment property, it’s personal.

 Which is why the team can sort out everything, managing our Kennel, and checking up on Simon quarterly so they can give us a report. We’ll be able to look on our iPad in Australia and see what they’ve discovered! They’ll also sort out the legalities. They’ve got a whole ‘Renting ’til I return’ package, which has been created specifically for landlords who are looking to return to their properties.

I’ll be much happier knowing that someone has everything in hand.

 Honestly, it’s brilliant. You can see for yourself if you like. There’s a page on the website about everything they offer returning landlords here.

 Well I’m sold! Or… er… let. Pass me the suncream, Ted.
