    Strategies for a couple upgrading from 2 PPR's to 1

    Yes they are in a new relationship and can both sell CGT free - they have both been living in their PPR, not together. Does selling both sound more attractive than keeping them for 5-10 years before selling?

How does a client know that the BA has secured...
