    Do you really mean CGT or are you thinking of Stamp Duty ?
    CGT potentially applies when you sell a property, SDLT when you buy.

    And if you are talking about SDLT, the answer is no.

    Why are you doing this ?
    Have you considered the costs involved ? 
    Never mind the extra stamp duty.
    You could end up spending a lot of money to devalue both houses.
  • Sorry yes stamp duty my mistake .Also it is not value iam worried about but staying in a great place and space
