Mortgage Rate Rises

Thinking of letting my second home out or selling due to marriage and moving house to our lasses (she owns hers I own mine currently we're not named on each others mortgages and don't contribute to each others mortgages)

So first question, how long do I have to sell the property before cgt if I decide to sell?

Second question, how much tax do I actually pay on rent? Do I pay tax on the full amount I charge so say charging 500 all in rent wise or do I pay tax on the money I earn after I take away my btl mortgage cost of 340 which gives me a plus 160?
 
Both answers are available on gov.uk ;)

The tax on rent question is much more complex than your question allows. You have never been able to offset any capital elements of a mortgage but you can offset some interest. You can of course offset other expenses.
