            Partner bought property on 10/05/2010 in his sole name for £207k
 I owned a property in my sole name which I sold on 28/03/2013. Although I spent most of my time at my partners I did not change my place of residence on any official documents.
 on 23/05/2013 we purchased a property in joint names and moved into together
 Partners property transferred into joint names on 08/10/2013. This property rented out , now sold for £290k, completing on 1/05/2025

 Partners property transferred into joint names on 08/10/2013. This property rented out , now sold for £290k, completing on 1/05/2025
 changed to joint ownership 08/10/2013 (assume 50/50?). Crucially at that date they were not married.
 Property B main home property owned by Freddie sold 28/03/2013
 Property C new main home for both partners joint purchase 23/05/2013 (marriage some 4 years + later)
 Property A ceases as his main home wef May 2013 and sold 1/05/2025 for 290k
 From Mar 13 to May 13 assume Freddie living in property A, but not married nor an owner of it at that time, so not eligible for main/only home relief on A before moving out of it
 CGT for Partner on sale of (let) property A (PRR is available)
 owned for May 2010 to May 2025 = 181 months
 Gross gain (290 - 207) x 50% share = 41,500
 less PRR May 2010 to May 2013 = 37 months + final 9 = 46/181 = 25.4%
 41,500 - 10,547 - 3,000 CGT allowance = 27,953 net taxable gain
 CGT for Freddie on sale of (let) property A (PRR not available)
 owned Oct 13 to May 2025 = 140 months
 Gross gain is impossible to calculate as needs value of property at point of acquisition on 08/10/2013 as unmarried at that date so acquiring share of ownership is not backdated on the no gain no loss basis.
 whatever that acquisition cost is, it will result in a gross gain from which only Freddie's 3k CGT allowance can be deducted to give their net taxable gain0

            That is really helpful , thank you.
 So, just have to find the value of property on 8/10/13 and my CTG will be based on half that amount with no deductions apart from my 3k and half of any selling costs0

 then please feel free to write out the entire CGT manual for every answer given on here because if someone cannot come here with a grasp of the basics that they have looked up themselves then that is what you must do every time.sheramber said:
