If we sell our UK property for 13,000 GBP less than the Estate Agents valuation and the house was on the market at that valuation when we migrated to Oz can the loss be written off as capital gains loss in a tax return ?

Thanks

Bobby

If it has been your main residence throughout the period of your ownership - no.

Best regards.
