    Hi I have a question regarding how the market value of a property is determined. I am thinking of buying a property in the period of the CGT exemption relief. I have read that a limitation to this relief is that the property must be acquired for a consideration equal to the market value of the property. How is the market value determined and where would you find the market value of a property? Thanks

    I presume that the market value would be the value on the open sales market rather than possibly a private sale i.e between family members which could be lowly priced?

    So it would be what you pay for it on the open market would be the market value? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't know much about this.
