Hi all,

I have a buy to let property I purchased around December 2013, and my initial understanding was i need to hold the property for 7 years before i can avail of capital gains tax relief.

Am i right in thinking this has now been amended, and i can now sell the house after 4 years without paying any CBT?

Am i missing anything? Are there any stipulations, caveats etc?

The property has significantly increased in value, so I need to be very careful here obviously.

Thanks, D

Get professional advice.
 
I am in the same boat, however I am reluctant to kick out extremely reliable and clean tenants paying above average rent until the seventh year.
