Hi,
Selling a house purchased in 1994 that was my original principal private residence. I lived in this property as my PPR for 8 years before getting married and jointly purchasing a new PPR. I then rented out the original PPR that I had purchased in 1991 from 2000 onwards.
As the original property was purchased and used as my PPR, I did not retain the receipts of legal fees and stamp duty paid at the time of purhcase (~33 years ago). Appreicate your thoughts on how best to proceed with offsetting these costs (~£1,500) as part of my CGT return. I am concerned and reluctuant to include these (approximate) costs where I do not have the original paperwork to back up the return in the case of an audit from revenue. I am also reluctant not to include these costs which were paid. Appreciate if anyone has been in a similar situation in the past and their experience with Revenue?
Thank you
