Is he aware of the proposed change from April '17, where the engager will determine IR35 status, and deduct taxes at source?Comment

There shouldn't be a problem assuming he still maintains his primary residence in Wales. There could be implications if he stays there on weekends/days off this is not wholly and exclusively business related.
1. Ensure the tenancy agreement is in the companies name and paid from the company bank account.
2. Ensure the tenancy agreeement is short term (most assured shorthold tenancies are - hence their name).
3. Tell him to appoint an accountant to advise on these queries.
Regards

Okay, so he rarely goes back to Wales due to a very unpredictable schedule (working many weekends), is there not a justification for pro-rataing the rent expense, so he works on average 4 days per week, can he not expense 4/7 of the total rent to the business?
ThanksComment

But, just ensure he is Investigation insured.
Not sure there is much else to say here.Comment

Like the BMA for example.
Or do you think the answer from a bunch of mostly IT contractors will provide the answer you want? (and none of whom are lawyers or accountants(well there are a few accountants lurking here)).See You Next TuesdayComment
