Capital gains tax on UK property

[jerrycan]

Can anyone tell me if Capital Gains Tax is liable to be charged by the French Taxation system on a property sold in the UK after 20 years of ownership?

If so how would it be calculated i.e. would the tax be payable on the gain between the selling price and the purchase price of 20 years ago.

Have been a resident and tax payer in France for 5 years.

Cheers

Jerry
