Capital Gains on Previously inherited house

in Cutting tax
Mother inherited a house in 1995 valued for porbate at that time at £110,000.
Her step brother lived in this house until earlier this year.
The house is in disrepair but is now valued at around £500,000.
Can anyone help with any advice on cutting down any cgt bill if she decides to sell.
Is there any 'tapered relief' ?
Step brother passed away but had no rights to the house

Its a bit late to do anything about CGT - this should have been considered when she inherited the house.
Taper relief has been abolished - gains are now taxed at 18% with an annual expemtion of £10,100 for this year. All costs of sale need to be included in the CGT calculation.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
