I am selling what was our family home which we lived in for 5 years and tenanted for 12 months. This has been vacant for several months and naturally incurred various costs such as council tax, utilities etc. My first question; 1. Can any of those be classed as losses to offset against capital gains tax that will be due? 2. When we purchase our new home which will be liable for stamp duty, can this capital loss of paying the stamp duty be offset against the CGT against the property that has been sold?
