Hi Clivechaf Chafer,
Yes, he will be liable to capital gains on his share if being sold for more than he paid as it has not been his only or main residence.
Any tax due will be when the deed is signed as this is classed as the sale.
As you are paying in instalments, he can ask for deferred consideration to pay any capital gains that may be due.
Please see:
CG14881 - Deferred consideration: what is ascertainable
Thank you.
