FHTB letting the property.

[BRB234]

I am trying to get a better understanding of my situation and would like some advice of possible please.

I have received my new assignment order and it is quite far from my home which I bought using FHTB.
Am I right in thinking the property can not be let unless you are being posted abroad?
If so, this will mean I have to live unaccompanied in the block. Is there a means of reduced block fees for someone in my circumstance?

Thank you for any advice received

As long as your new posting is more than 50 miles from the property - you will be allowed to rent it out. You need to make a formal request to do so but it will be granted.
