Hi Lyndea31,
Your late mother will not be subject to capital gains tax on the disposal of the property, but the property will count towards inheritance tax payable by the estate.
The mortgage is not relevant for calculating capital gain tax liability and cannot be used as a deduction.
If the property was not named in a will, then the estate of your late mother may be liable to capital gains tax.
If the property was named in a will and both you and your husband were the named beneficiaries, then you both may be liable to capital gains tax.
If your mother paid for the bathroom and porch, you cannot includ them as deductions against capital gains, as you did not incur the cost.
Please have a look at the guidance at
Capital Gains Manual CG15150 - Expenditure: introduction and Expenditure: enhancement expenditure (
Capital Gains Manual CG15180 - Expenditure: enhancement expenditure), as well as cost of acquisition and disposal at
Capital Gains Manual CG15250 - Expenditure: incidental costs of acquisition and disposal.
Thank you.
