Well, do you really want to sell it? Especially right now, at the current state of the market? Would you prefer, as above, to hold it for up to 5 years or so? Empty, costing money to hold and maintain?

Have you considered just renting it? Holidays, etc if not to a 'permanent' tenant? You will get income (and some tax benefits too).

Having rented it for while, it is of course, then not 'new', but most houses are eventually sold 'second hand'... :-)
