I assume you are referring to Inheritance Tax (IHT)?

If so, professional fees and selling expenses are not allowable for IHT.

Have you read the Inland Revenue's booklets IHT14 "Inheritance Tax - the Personal Representatives' Responsibilities" and IHT215 the guide to filling in form IHT200? Both are downloadable from their website.
