Good Morning.

I am about to retire to Cyprus, I have purchased a property which will be my home for the majority of the year, just excluding holidays, which will not be spent in the UK.

I have not yet sold my UK property but it is on the market and will remain so until it sells.

I don't intend to rent my UK property out and it will be left unfurnished so I don't intend to return to stay in it even on a temporary basis.

My question is regarding the statutory residence test, is the UK property going to stop me from stopping being a UK tax resident until it is sold?

Will the UK property be seen as a UK tie.

Thanks
