    Not if its your only residence in England......if you brought a house for £ 30,000 pounds in Hackney east London just under a mile from the Bank of England in the City today it's worth 3 million pounds plus now and there is no Capitail Gains payable....it's only three bedroom and no off street parking ....it's also not a real desirable area.....There are loads of gangs that still live there ,although the area has improved somewhat...

    You have  gangs? Im not sure if here in America, you have to pay 40% of what you gained on the house, Even if its your only residence. But i could be, and probably am, wrong. ;)

    There are gangs still in all major cities in England....Many all over north ,east ,west London and the same in south London across the Thames River....many are extrealy violent and are in to all criminal acts....

    If you live in a £1,000,000 house and buy another for £100,000....months later sell the more expensive one ,you will pay capital gains on the million pound house...of £400,000........far better to sell your home and then buy another....you pay nothing then...

    No, not at that level of a sale on a house.  There is an limit on the exemption but it is way higher than $50,000

    Not if you have lived in it for two out of the most recent five years (USA).

    If it was your primary residence for two of the previous five years, the first $250,000 of gain (sale price minus adjusted basis) is exempt from capital gains tax.

    Yes, if it was not your permanent home.  If it was your home for two years and it sold for 250,000 or less, no.  

    I do not know how this might have changed with the new tax law effective this year.
