This may be straight forward and I may be over-thinking this...
My wife and I bought property A in 2005, lived in it until 2010 as our main residence, at which point it was rented out until Aug 2017. We then moved back into it (with the intention of living there indefinitely), before buying our new/current main residence (property C) in Oct 2018.
At the point that we moved out of property A in 2010, we purchased and moved into property B, living there until Aug 2017, before moving back into property A. We then rented out property B, on a four year lease (which comes to an end in July 2021).
When we purchased property C, we had to pay the additional SDLT. My question is - and assuming our decision is purely based on SDLT - which property (A or B) would we need to sell in order to be able to claim back the additional SDLT?
Additionally, we are considering splitting property A into two flats. Would we be able to sell one of the flats (and retain the other as a BTL) and claim back the additional SDLT?
Any thoughts appreciated.
