CGT on house: Are my calculations reasonably accurate

Will be going to an accountant to make sure all is in order but I like to be informed so was wondering if the below is reasonably on point in relation to my wife and I buying a house owned by my parents.

> House build in 1980.
> Lived in as Principal Private Residence for 10 years.
> Rented for 28 years.
> Lived in by owners (my parent's) children rent free for 2 years - rent was at or below yearly parental gift amount so no concerns there.

> Originally bought for £25,000
> Euro conversion indicates this is about €31,740
> Revenue CGT indexation factor indicates a multiplier of 3.742 based on date of purchase (early 1980) which equals €118,771

> House currently valued at €300,000
> Roughly ten years ago they spent €30,000 on renovations

Do I have the CGT calculation on point below?
> €300,000 (current value) minus €118,771 (indexation factor value) = €181,229 (capital gain)
> €181,229 (capital gain) minus €30,000 (renovations) = €151,229 (gain after renovation costs)
> €151,229 divided by 40 (years house has existed) multiplied by 28 (years house was rented to non-family) = €105,860
> 33% (CGT) of €105,860 = €34,934

So the CGT my parents would have to pay on the sale of the house is €34,934?
 
I don't think you get relief because you rented it to family members
The last 12 month's are always relieved
The calculation is done as
Net Proceeds from Sale = € 300,000
Less indexed purchase cost = - € 181,229
Less enhancement expenditure = = € 30,000 (presumably these can be justified and are enhancements, not repairs)
Gain = € 151,229

Period of ownership = 40 years
Period of PPR = 10 + 1 = 11
Relief = 11 / 40 = 27.5% x € 151,229 = € 41,488
Taxable gain = € 151,229 - € 41,488 = € 109,741
Less annual personal allowance € 1,270 x 2 if owned jointly and it i the only disposal during the year
Tax due = € 109,741 - € 2,540 = € 107,201 x 33% = € 35,376
