Hello,
I am new but ironically looking for advice on leaving France!!! We have been here for years, had children, found jobs, built a house etc but family issues are taking us back to UK.
Sooo, here's load a questions we are dealing with (badly) and need some help.
1. We have an offer on the table for our house, it's quite a lot lower than we were hoping for but it comes from the only people who have viewed it 8 months. Is it worth hanging out for more viewers and maybe a better price or is the market at such a standstill we are better off taking it?
2. What is the deal with Capital Gains Tax? I know we are not liable if we are resident in the house when we sell it, but what if we are back living and working in the UK before this house is sold? By living and working somewhere else have we automatically made this house a secondary residence? Getting a lot of conflicting advice on this one.
So, not that many questions, just two but we'd be really grateful if anyone has some answers to them.
Thanks in advance.
