Property CGT

Postby phil4711 » Fri Dec 14, 2018 5:01 pm

Q1. Say that the value of an inherited property was £500,000. I then spend £50,000 on a conservatory. If in the future i sell the house for £600,000, can i deduct the cost of the conservatory to reduce my CGT bill?

Yes a conservatory is a capital expense and is deductible in the calculation of CGT. Regards Peter
