Hi,
Can someone help with these queries I have:
I have a property A which I've lived in since April 1999, as my main residence. I'm in the process of buying a new place now, property B, as my new main residence. I want to sell property A now.
The questions I have:
1) Am I liable to any Capital Gains Tax at all? When do I need to sell property B before I'm in need of paying this tax?2) I want to sell property A to my Brother at a discounted price, is that allowed? Property is worth £200,000 but I want to sell it to him at the discounted price of £84,000 which would cover the mortgage left on it.
3) Is there an easier method of actually doing 2) (ie transfer title deeds and mortage onto my brother) without having to go through the whole house selling and buying process?Any help or advice would be very appreciated. Thanks, Kit
