Currently I have two properties (flats) - one inherited from my mother and another flat (B) which I bought in 2018. I am planning to buy another flat (C) currently and planning to sell the one I bought (B) in 2018. However the sequence will be - I buy the new flat (C) now and then sell the bought (B) 2018 flat within the next 6 months of buying the new flat (C).
Can I offset the LTCG of selling the flat (B) with the buy value of the new flat (C) , so that my LTCG tax is minimized or nil depending upon the gains and buy price of new 2nd hand flat.
