I guess your main issue is going to be the recent announcements around higher deposits being required which will cut down on the pool of first time buyers.
I think it's being pushed out to 15% deposit so it's not outrageous but I know a few people with 10% deposits that are currently re-evaluating what they're going to do.
If it's empty then there seems no harm in putting it on. You're only going to pay if they sell it. (Although obviously there is the lost revenue from renting.)

Thank you for chiming in @aggi and @Howard good to hear first hand experiences of current situation.
Ours is very much a 1st time buyers house so not sure if that makes it more/less attractive, but we’re looking at ways to get out of London and back to Ireland ASAP (ie 2nd week of July as I have time off from work). We can get by leaving it empty for a while but if nothing happens by September or October we might have to look at renting.
