Selling a house to daughter

Posts: 7 Forumite
The basics (all figures approx) -
Increased my mortgage to buy derelict property for £50k in 2009.
Worked at it slowly up to point I retired 2 yrs ago and put in my lump sum £50k to finish it off
House now valued at £200 (standard non-standard construction - timber so banks are not keen regard mortgage)
Selling to daughter and her husband but they can only afford £120k mortgage.
Issue is regard Cap Gains (cannot sell below street value) / specialist mortgage provider ( will only have family joint mortgage if we also live there ) won't accept legal charge .
Any advise / suggestions, tales of similar experiences all gratefully accepted

Not sure what the problem is?
It is worth £200,000 but want just £120,000 out of it?
They can afford a £120,000 mortgage?
You don't live there?
All we need is a Lender that is comfortable with the property construction type?I am a Mortgage Broker

Are you wanting to achieve the full £200k market value in selling the property?0

Thanks for replies - happy with a payment of £120K but confused over the CG and protecting the difference (will wise)
At my age would probably see the difference (£80k) split between son and daughter as willed gift so I suppose I don't want to lose any claim to the difference.
Understand that CG would be on property value minus costs approx £200k - £100k.
I presume this would be payable from the £120k cash from daughter's mortgage so the chances are I wouldn't recoup my lump sum or the extra I put on my mortgage.
Am I understanding this about right / can I defer CG payment / can I protect the diff so that it falls to son/daughter
