A few years ago I lived in a house for 12 months then sold it CGT free as it was my main principal place of residence.

I have done this twice now.

Is there a limit on the amount of times i can do this CGT free?
As in will the tax office see this as an offiside business if i do it every couple of years? Or am i pretty safe to go again?

Thanks :)
