I bought a flat in London in 2012, but 18 months after the completion of the purchase, work in the basement flats done by the landlord created large cracks in the walls, marble floor, and lift—the building became unstable and unsafe. After a survey and legal proceedings, the landlord agreed to redo the flat and provide temporary quarters for several months. However, to obtain such, I had to incur legal and survey costs that the landlord refused to repay. Can I deduct those costs to calculate CGT?
