I bought my first house in August 1997, just after I started my first job, in Cambridge. I sold this house six months ago making a total gain of £55,000. I was forced to move away from this house in March 2000 because there was no more work available in Cambridge and so I moved to another job in the Isle of Man for 18 months. I then transferred to an office in Bradford where I lived for another 18 months until the date I sold my first house. I rented this property out from March 2000 to May 2003 to make some money while it stood empty.
I didnt like the quality of rental accommodation in Bradford and bought another house. I am still living in this house but im in the middle of conveyancing to sell. I am planning on moving abroad in a few months time. If the sale goes through as expected I will have gained about £15,000.
Is is possible that I will have capital gains to pay on either property? What do I need to say to the Inland Revenue when I complete my tax return?
many thanks, in advance, for any advise you give
