From my client's notes of the meeting she had with the potential buyer, he said that 'he would compensate her for loss of rental income'. I was hoping to find a more tax advantageous structure. Advice provided by all has been very helpful. I will need to research further.
Thank you. The £450K was an offer from the potential buyer and I am not sure how he arrived at that sum. My client seems to be happy with it though. The student lets are for a fixed term of 12 months. It has been a very successful operation with year 2 students often staying for their 3rd, or in some cases, their 4th year. It does seem that this sum should be taxed as income.
Thank you for your response. I was calling it 'goodwill' for the sake of calling it something. I was hoping for some guidance as to whether the additional sum could be treated in a different way to the property disposal. I would also be grateful if you could tell me what else is wrong with what i said.

Fair point!
Happy now?
Thank you. A good point. The formal structure of the offer has yet to be presented.
Yes. A genuine typo on my part (and wishful thinking). My client has been advised that CGT will be 28%.
Thank you. This is helpful and does give me some guidance.
