UK taxes on US house sale

Our daughter is going to be moving to England later this year from California and has a house to sell. I told her that it would greatly simplify things if her house sale was completed before moving.

IF the sale completes after she is in England and tax resident in England what are the tax implications if any? There is no mortgage, this is her primary residence, and the only house she owns. Show won’t be buying a house in England until after the sale of her US house completes.

I was able to sell our US house before we moved to the UK, but when I looked into this, there's no tax implications as long as the US house is your primary residence. Having a house in the US and the UK at the same time could cause an issue, and I noted that the UK has a caveat "the grounds, including all buildings, are less than 5,000 square metres (just over an acre) in total". from https://www.gov.uk/tax-sell-home

As an aside, note that some states can make it tricky to leave.

Thanks for this, and yes, I hear that California is one of those Staters who make it hard to leave and get out of paying State taxes.

I still pay some State taxes to Louisiana
