Quick Summary
A homeowner is seeking advice on capital gains tax exemption after purchasing a new house in his wife's name. He plans to sell his old house within three months and use the proceeds for the new property. The core question is whether he can claim exemption even though the new house isn't in his name, and what the relevant timeframes are.

Exemption is possible if u are the joint owner of the previous house.
Otherwise not.
First confirm.
Time frame is also important.
You wont be able to claim exemption if you sell the house in your name as the new house is in your wife name

If you are thinking of buying a house, you should think about how you can choose the best mortgage advisor.
