    It depends on how much you paid for property initially, whether it has ever been your main residence, and a few other factors.

    Currently you have an exemption of £10,100 profit before Capital Gains is charged. Capital Gains rate is 18%.

    If it's below £175,000 then there's no stamp duty to pay, and if you have lived in the property for quite a few years then you probably won't have any capital gains tax to pay.
