    Hi there
    I am thinking of buying an option on a property with the view to flip it.
    I hope to find a buyer who will pay a higher price and settle the same day as I do (once I exercise the option) and have the title transfered straight to the new buyer.
    Alternately, I could sell the option.
    Can anyone tell me what the CGT implications of either of these strategies is? I know I can’t avoid stamp duty but can i avoid CGT?
    Thanks in advance.
