Hi All,
I am currently in the process of buying a family property in UK after 9 years working overseas.
I own outright 2 additional properties in the UK which have been let out during period of residence overseas.
I am not selling either of these properties as part of the current purchase but am aware that if I sell my main residence within 3 years I may able to reclaim the enhanced rate of SD paid.
Question: Will it be possible to prove that a property that I have not lived in for 9 years as my main residence? I did purchase it as a home in 2000 and lived their for 8 years prior to moving overseas to work. I am aware that CGT rules do account for 'relocation with work' I am wondering if anyone has some insight into my current situation as it will drive what re-mortgage deal I pursue (i.e. 2 year or 5 year fixed rate).
Thanks
