Good morning all.
I have a property in the UK which I purchased in 1986 which was my main (only) residence in the UK. I left the UK in August 2009 to live in South East Asia. I submitted form P85 to HMRC to inform them of my departure. The propery remained empty between August 2009 and November 2010 at which time I began renting the property out. I notified HMRC of this rental income and each year I submit a tax return which they send to me in SEA. Now I am trying to sell the property. I have only been in UK for 15 days since August 2009 and have no intention of returning to the UK to live.

Questions:
When I sell the property will I have to inform HMRC on that year's tax return?
Will I be liable to CGT?

Thanks in advance.
