Moving to Orlando Florida | Why We're Not Renting Out Our UK Home | Weekly Vlog

We met with a UK estate agent to explore renting out our house while we move to Florida—but what we learned changed our minds! In this week’s update, we share why we've decided not to rent out our UK home while relocating to Orlando, Florida. We sat down with a local estate agent to learn more about the process—and it quickly became clear that renting out our family home just isn’t the right move for us. We dive into the upcoming UK Renters' Reform Bill, which brings major changes for landlords—like the removal of fixed-term contracts, limitations on ending tenancies, and restrictions on choosing tenants (e.g. no pets or no benefits clauses). For us, it’s not just a house—it’s our home, and we realised that short-term security just isn't worth the emotional and financial risk. We also give an update on the visa front: while we still haven’t received our US Embassy interview letter yet, we followed up and were advised that expedited interviews typically fall within a 30-day window. Fingers crossed that next week brings the big news we’ve been waiting for! 📌 Key Topics in This Video – Renting out your home when emigrating – What the Renters' Reform Bill means for UK landlords – Emotional costs of renting out a family home – Our US visa progress & embassy interview wait – What’s next for our move to Florida 👉 If you've navigated renting out your home while moving abroad—or have advice for families emigrating with kids—drop your experience in the comments!
