Hi there, we have lived (perm residents & tax payers) in an EU country since January 2019 and are due to return to the UK on 19 October 2024. In October 2020, we bought a house here which has been our primary residence ever since. I am struggling to find out whether we qualify for private residence relief if we sell the property AFTER we return at the end of October. Is there a time limit, or must it be before we are once again UK residents? Our EU property is currently on the market, but I am nervous that we will not complete until after our return date. In which case, would we be liable for CGT? To be clear, if we remain resident in the EU country at the time of sale, we are not liable for any CGT.
