Understanding Private Residence Relief

Private Residence Relief

Selling your home can be both exciting and stressful, especially when it comes to understanding the tax implications. One important benefit available to many homeowners is Private Residence Relief (PRR), which can reduce or eliminate Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the profit made from selling your main residence. But navigating PRR isn’t always straightforward – factors such as renting out part of your property, periods of absence, or owning multiple homes can all affect how much relief you can claim.

At Dunkley’s, we specialise in providing clear and practical tax advice in Bristol for clients with a wide range of tax queries related to property sales. For instance, did you know that you may still qualify for relief during periods when you were temporarily living elsewhere, or that letting your property can impact the relief available? Understanding these details can save you thousands.

Whether you’re selling your family home, a second property, or inherited a house, our team will review your situation thoroughly to ensure you maximise any relief available. We also help with the necessary paperwork and deadlines to keep everything compliant and stress-free.

If you’re planning a sale or have questions about your tax position on property, getting expert advice early can make a big difference. Don’t risk missing out on valuable relief or facing unexpected tax bills.
