Are you helping your aging parents sell their home in Hull, Goole, Yorkshire, or Lincolnshire, and are you wondering if Capital Gains Tax (CGT) will apply?
This video provides a clear and practical explanation of when and how CGT affects older homeowners in the UK, especially when selling a family property due to illness, downsizing, or moving into a care home.
We answer key questions like:
🔹 What is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?
Understand how the UK government taxes capital assets like homes, and when this applies to senior citizens selling property.
🔹 Are seniors exempt from Capital Gains Tax?
Learn about the exemptions for primary residences, how care home rules provide a 3-year CGT relief, and when no tax is owed.
🔹 What happens if you're selling your parents' house?
We explain the importance of having a valid Power of Attorney, the legal rights you need to sell someone else's property, and what type of POA allows financial transactions like home sales.
🔹 When should older people sell their homes?
Explore the reasons why seniors choose to sell, whether due to medical costs, moving to a care facility, or simply no longer being able to live independently.
🔹 Do you need to use an estate agent, or can you sell yourself?
We compare different selling options, including For Sale by Owner (FSBO), estate agents, and direct cash house buyers, with pros and cons.
