Are you sure about that tax situation? I'm not a UK taxpayer any more, but my understanding is that you shouldn't pay 40% on increased valuation of your home for selling it. 1) asset appreciation will be taxed at capital gains rates, not marginal income rates. That tops out at 28%, not 40% 2) with some exceptions, primary dwellings aren't subject to capital gains tax when sold.
