The company in London is VPS which I think is Void Property Services or
Security, try a search on them.

my husband and I have been doing some work slowly slowly on a property

Our own house where we live will hopefully be sorted by renting it
out, but the diy project house is not habitable and we do not want to
sell it so we are wondering what to do about it.

Is it completely uninhabitable? Is there no way you could make it
habitable enough for the outlay equivalent to the rental income for
the years your away? as I think it would be much better to have it
inhabitated, and I expect your future neighbours would prefer it to.
