Pre-letting expenses incurred while still living at the property

Hi, We are looking to rent out our property and move out a week before. Is it possible to undertake repairs (repainting the wall, fixing/replacing a broken appliance) before moving out, or do we need to move out first. The guidance on gov.uk is clear that pre-letting expenses are ok, but just checking if this is still the case if we are still living at the property when the pre-letting expenses are incurred?

Hi,
You need to decide whether or not the work is wholly and exclusively for the rental business or is there a dual purpose? Whether you live in the property at the time that the work is carried out is irrelevant. You can see detailed guidance on wholly and exclusively here:
