Because I don't know enough detail about your circumstances, I can't say for sure, but on what you have said so far, I think you will be CGT exempt. Contact the tax office and talk to them - or look at their website at www.hmrc.gov.uk and look at the capital gains manual. If that fails, I would get some quick advice from a solicitor. Don't worry about doing the calculations - yet!!!
