Capital Gains tax on a property purchased in 2014 and selling in 2025

According to Gov UK, instead of using the original purchase price if purchased before 2015, you should use the market value of the property as of April 2015. Can I still claim the purchase expenses of estate agent fees and solicitor costs for CG purposes? I know I cannot claim improvement costs incurred before April 2015.

Is this as a non-resident?

The worked example includes allowing for acquisition and disposal costs.
