I'm wondering if anyone can reassure me...
I'm currently divorcing, and my ex wants to buy me out of our house. Fine, but in order to do this he needs a cash gift from his parents; this will come from the sale of a property of theirs which is (still, 7 months in) not on the market. It's due to go on the market within the next month, so this process could/should be concluded within say 6 months, taking us into next tax year.
In the meantime, we're currently sharing the house but the situation has deteriorated and I'm desperate to move out with the children. Had planned to wait for settlement and buy, moving straight from marital home to new property. Instead I've found a place to rent, can afford to, no problem. But that means that the marital home will no longer be my primary residence in the next cash year, when he will buy me out. Will CGT become due on my settlement?
