Hi,
We have found a house that we are interested in buying. The vendors are looking for a quick sale and have already turned down an offer from a potential buyer which was subject to sale of their existing house.
We have finance to cover the cost of buying this house without having to wait to sell our existing house. The plan is then to place our house on the market immediately.
I am just wondering if we are at risk of having to pay capital gains tax on our existing house if it is no longer our primary residence?
thanks!
