Selling and CGT!

Just to follow up my last post:

I have a house in London bought for £550 000 2 years ago. When we were buying the house I was told i owned the house and my mother was the guarantor by the mortgage lender and solicitor. However, looking back at the documents from the sale I noticed that the house was under mine and my mothers name. The value of the property now is £800 000 and i wanted to know what will happen when i come to sell the house. This is my first mortgage. I wanted to know the CGT implications on this house. It is my main residence and my mother has never lived in the house. Obviously i do not want to pay CGT when i come to sell. is there anything i can do??? what if i talk to my mortgage lender and ask them to change the mortgage and deeds to myself with my mother as the guarantoor?

Thanks

Imers

    it's very confusing starting multiple threads basically asking the same question... better to discuss the answers given and ask further questions were necessary
