Personally I would put it in for reasons of clarity and completeness but make very little of them. One line heading and thats it. Hopefully your dates will run end to end which looks good and your techie stuff will still overcome the one line saying what you were doing when you wern't techie.
If someone really feels the need to ask you about the one line that says Property and not the other 2 pages (not 10.. 2!!!) of good solid techy stuff you don't want to work for him anyway.
If you leave a gap it detracts from what you have done as he will start wondering why and steer the questions to the gap which isn't the point. You need to be selling yourself not explaining yourself.
