Evening Guys, I thought I would post my situation on here to see if I can get a bit of sound advice on a financial matter. I currently have two property's , my own home worth approx £250k (£210k mortgage interest only) and another property that I rent out for £500p/m to a good friend (£64k mortgage worth around £145k - 7 years left on a repayment mortgage, payments of around £860p/m). I lived in the latter property for 4 years before purchasing my current property around 3 years ago.

If you were in my position would you just leave things as they are or sell the rental property in light of the Capital Gains Tax situation ? If i sold the property now would I be liable to pay any tax ? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Read the above article.  Any alteration to Private Letting Relief in forthcoming budgets could affect you.

I think there's a three-year rule about when you lived there last which means it's exempt from CGT.  Obviously this could all change tomorrow in the Boo-zhay, so wait and see.

In the meantime, put the rent up a bit.

KICKING, I'm a surveyor and you need to take very urgent tax advice to avoid unnecessary CGT.
