hi maths if i use the "default" method i assume that it would be to my advantage if the valuation i got before october 6 2016 was slightly on the higher side ?As a non-resident you are liable to CGT on a sale of your property. There are three methods of calculating any capital gain on a sale and in your case the so-called "default" method is most likely to mitigate any CGT charge ie property revalued as at April 2015 and only any gain arising thereafter is taxable.
If you became non-resident pre April 6, 2015 and thereafter have not spent at least 90 days in the property in each subsequent tax year then no private residence relief is available other than that attributable to the last 18 months of ownership. In view of this last 18 months relief a sale pre October 6, 2016 will mean no CGT is payable. The period pre April 6, 2015 being irrelevant re any CGT charge.
Other things being equal it may make sense to sell pre October 6, 2016.
