CGT deductible expenses on probate sale

We (3 sisters) are about to complete on the sale of our mother's house. We have a gain from the probate valuation to the actual sale price. I would like to find a definitive list of what counts as deductible expenses to offset against CGT. I understand the estate has an allowance of £3k. Can all of the following be deducted? Probate solictors' fees Funeral expenses Conveyancing solictors' fees Estate agent fees Also, my mother had an outstanding loan balance and I understand this can also be counted as it became an estate debt when she died. Is there a published list somewhere? I am having trouble finding a clear answer online. Thank you.

Hi,

Only costs relating to the sale of the actual property can be allowed so you cannot claim funeral expenses or any loans. these would then be paid from any money made from the sale of the

assets for what is allowable, please refer to:

Capital Gains Manual

Thank you.

Thanks for the response. So, to clarify, can the probate solicitor's cost be included? The house could not have been sold without that expenditure. Is the final gain taxed at 20% or 28%? Thank you.
