CGT after buying new property before selling old one

Hi, Please can you clarify the following. We bought our current house 30+ years ago and it has obviously increased substantially in value since then. If we buy a new house and do not sell the current one immediately but wait until we have done some repairs in order to sell it, what are the CGT implications? Is there a time limit in which we would have to sell the current house ? I have seen some mention of 9 months being the maximum allowed. Thank you.

Hi,
Please see HS283 Private Residence Relief (2023).
Please note you will receive PRR for the period you lived in the property plus the final 9 months.
If you actually live in the property in any of the final 9 months this is already included as part of the initial PRR and you cannot claim it again.
Thank you
 

Hi, Thank you for your response, I understand the first part so that's a start but I am afraid I need it spelling out very clearly and get very lost on the HMRC help pages, so just to confirm, if I sell my current house within 9 months of buying the new one, I will not be liable for any CGT and I do not need to report this anywhere on any tax return or anything?

Hi Kathryn8765
That is correct.
Thank you.
