    Can you claim back Mortgage arrangement fee redemption charges through CGT?

    Are the mortgage fees (early redemption charges and arrangement fees) allowed as deductible expenses when selling a second home please?

    They're allowable against income (restricted in the same way as interest).
    Finance fees are not capital items.
    When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
    Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

      D999,

      The taxman's method of calculating :

      Capital gain is the Sale Price ( say £200K ) minus Purchase Price ( say £130K ) = £70K capital gain.

      But buying and selling expenses are allowable and include the conveyancing cost : say £1K plus estate agent'...

      Evening all,

      I am currently looking to move house and also have a rental property that has around £200k equity in it.

      The rental house had consent to let and on a repayment mortgage and has 3 years to go until I can switch deals.

      I have spoken to a mortgage broker...

      Thank you for your kind words JP and the tips re using an accountant. Having been taxed at source all my working life this is very useful information. I will look round for an accountant. A friend of mine who is also a landlord as well as having a day job has one, so maybe a personal recommendation...

      Thank you for your work in the NHS!

      I've found that the first sessions were the most valuable in terms of what could be saved, and the value has diminished slightly and the costs of the returns being done has stayed the same/slightly increased, so it feels like it's less worth it.

      I been looking at spreadsheets to list my expenses and every template I find seems to allocate expenses per house ie 5 houses = 5 separate sheets whereas I just put everything down on one sheet.
      I would like to know if I have been doing it wrong all these years.
      ​​​​​​Any help...

      I use one page of a spreadsheet for all the income and expenses and have other pages which automatically summarise the data property by property.

      When you sell the property, you can't retain any of the equity, so that doesn't really make any sense to me.
      On disposal, the mortgage will end and have to be repaid.

      The value of the rental property when first let is also a limit to the amount of the loan against which interest can...

      Gordon999 thanks for your reply. In regards to CGT so if I was due to sell a house I could request to remove all the equity before the sale and wouldn’t be subject to CGT... that doesn’t seem right.

      In regards to switching my mortgage from repayment to and interest only... would I incur...

      Its good to keep a separate sheet for each property because when you come to sell one house , you may want to show the rental and expenses records for one house to prospective buyers.
