My advice is talk to a taxation expert such as Manntax, Fry's, Chiltern. My understanding is that you have to show HMRC that you really have moved your life overseas. So the less ties you have to Blighty the better.

However, it may depend on what type of property you have in the UK. If you have a family home abroad and only have a small flat in the UK for use when you do need to visit the UK then that may be ok. The point is that merely following the rules re the 90/183 days is not enough, you must be able to show that your lifestyle is one of an expat. In that sense the rules are not, in my opinion, CAVOK but patchy fog!!
