    CGT - allowable expenses

    Can someone please let me know what expenses are allowable as deductions against CGT on sale of a rental property. The property in question was completely unliveable when I purchased it and I did extensive renovation to make it liveable, eg new kitchen, bathroom, heating, rewiring, windows etc. The builder that did the work only charged for his labour and I paid for all the materials - can I claim a deduction for the total amount of these costs or just the materials costs?
    thanks

      I rent out a single property, during the winter storms the brickwork was damaged and the cheapest option to repair it was to render the Gable end and rear of the property. I tried to claim on the insurance but they maintained it was due to wear and tear, I am of course disputing this. My question is...

      I think the insurance company were right-the render must have been distressed to suffer storm damage. You can offset cost against income.

      Hmrc rules allow transfers between spouses without cgt. The recipient spouse takes on the asset at the original purchase price.

      I'd say that's a maintenance cost and would be allowed against income.
      It would affect the value of the property, but only to restore it to the level that it was at prior to the damage (plus the general positive effect of any large maintenance work).

      What you are planning to do is routine and HMRC will accept the change as a matter of routine admin.

      Hello. Since 2013 my wife and I own a property as tenants in common where the beneficial interest split is 90% her and 10% me. We are now looking to sell the property. I have a large CGT loss and using the HMRC CGT calculator I have calculated that if I change the split to 70% me and 30% my wife...

      Hello,
      We have a small BTL portolio of five properties. Some are in our personal names and the latter ones in a property company we set up a few years' ago when the tax rules changed.

      I'd really like to find someone who can advise us of the best way of either bringing the personal...
