Hi
My Father has two houses on the same street 13 years ago we all lived together as a family Mum, Dad and my two brothers and then my Parents were inherited a house 7 doors down from which myself my younger brother mum and dad moved into so that is where the second house had come from .. So my older brother stayed with his girlfriend in the original house and they have been there ever since and we moved in to the other house up until this point ... The time has come to sell the house we as a family live in as my father wants to help us get on the property ladder individually and then he will move back into the original house .. So we have been informed we have to pay capital gains tax on the house my brother lived in for 13 years .. Is there a loophole that we can avoid paying so much tax as the house is in London and has gone up substantially the house my brother lived in wasn't run as a business basically he just paid the bills plus we owe about £180k on a mortgage... My father is looking at moving abroad for 5 years to try and lower the capital gains tax instead of moving back into his original house but I doubt that will work...
Has anyone got any advice please
Thanks
