I purchased a property in May 2005 and lived in it as my main residence. I bought a new property and started letting the original property out from 2012 to October 2024. Can you please advise if I can claim back a percentage against my capital gains tax on property? Thanks

Hi,
Yes. You can claim private residence relief for the period that the property was your main residence.  
Please have a look at the guidance at helpsheet HS283. 
HS283 Private Residence Relief (2024)
There is a calculator below, which also has a link to the online capital gains service, so that you can report any gain and pay the tax due, withing the 60 day period.
