Hi,
Im aware the 7 year rule RE CGT has expired end of 2014.
I am purchasing a property through a family friend over coming months, for approx 20% under market value. Other then this person being a close, the other main reason for the reduction is the house needs a lot of work, and being from a building background i intend to carry this out myself over the next 6 months or so.
My plan then is to rent the property out for approx a year until i available to move from my current dwelling, which i also own i.e. this will not be a first time buyer purchase.
So... say I buy this property for 300k this year, rent for the first 12 months. Then move in myself after 12 months, and eventually decide i want to sell 5 years down the road, and lets just say the house is valued at 500k. Can someone advise where exactly i stand with CGT, on the 200k gain?
Thanks guys
