Capital Gains Tax Valuation

Understanding Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on property in the UK can be complex, with different rules for residents, non-residents, and property types. We’re here to help simplify it.

What is Capital Gains Tax?
CGT applies when you sell or dispose of a property that has increased in value. The tax is based on the profit (gain), not the sale price, with rates of 18% or 28% for residential property, depending on your income.

Why Do You Need a CGT Valuation?
A professional valuation ensures accurate CGT reporting to HMRC and prevents disputes. Our RICS-registered Chartered Surveyors assess your property’s value for various situations, including sales, gifting, trading, or receiving compensation.

How We Help
We provide detailed CGT valuation reports for HMRC or your accountant. If HMRC challenges your valuation, we can negotiate on your behalf. We also offer drive-by or desktop valuations if you’ve already sold the property, minimising disruption.

Since 1982, property gains have been subject to CGT, so getting a precise valuation is essential.
