    I am looking at buying a property for cash....100k. Am I going to run into any tax implication issues should I decide to sell again in a few years (capital gains tax??) I haven't paid cash for property before and I am unsure of possible future issues for me and my investment.

    Well that's a real "it depends" isn't it!

    What's the source of the 100k, and was it taxed when earned/accrued...?

    As long as the executed deed shows the stamp duty value of 100k there is no "tax problem" on a subsequent sale.

    All coming from savings for the past 25 years. All tax fully paid. So - there isnt any issue once I pay the required stamp duty after purchase. Thats good to know.

    You shouldn't have any issues buying for cash. Believe it or not, there are a load of people buying for cash out there. Not everyone is with a mortgage.

    As long as the cash is legitimate, no tax issues or anything different to what a mortgaged buyer will experience.
