Re:Expenses (e.g. council tax, insurance) during time a rental property was empty awaiting sale?
Hi,
We would advise you that due to the fact that your intention appears to sell the property rather than rent it out again in the future then you will not be able to claim any expenses against that property after the date the tenant moved out as any expenses incurred would not be classesd as being wholly and aexclusively in respect of the property business:

Thank you.
