A member of HM Forces is stationed overseas in Cyprus for several years.He is paid in the UK and Income tax(Code 647L) and Class 1 NIC is deducted . He rents out his home in the UK while he is away

Crown Employees
I believe that Crown Employees (Armed Forces, Diplomats, Civil Servant, etc.) on an official posting to a foreign country remain resident for UK taxation throughout their posting. This would treat foreign based letting income as part of worldwide income for the purposes of UK taxation.
One possibility would be lettings relief, but I don't think that applies to non-UK property income. This is not my area of expertise, so hopefully someone else may illuminate...
