  • PPR and capital expenses

    I am a UK non-resident and I have a property in the UK that I am selling. I have owned it for 20 years and have lived in the property as my main home at various times during my period of ownership. When I was absent the property was let. I believe that approx. 16/20 of the gain qualifies for PPR and 4/20 is chargeable. I have also incurred capital expenditure on legal fees defending my title as there was a boundary dispute with my neighbour when the property was let. My question is do I also need to restrict the capital expenditure that I can claim by the same proportion or can I claim all of it against my gain?
