I have recently renovated an old house - my accountant tells me that the only tax break I get from this is that the money spent on renovations gets added to the purchase price when I sell the property, therefore reducing my capital gains (and cap gains tax) on the property.
Is this the case? Is it worth getting a quantity surveyor in as these renovations are new?
Any help would be appreciated!
