Anyone doing this? How do you avoid Income tax???
We fall under property trading and so have to pay income tax, would prefer to pay capital gains tax. Anyone know a good way round this?

I may be wrong, but have you considered making a Limited Company? I am not sure of the details, but I understand you pay less tax that way ...

Correct, but you will only be able to limit the tax exposure, not remove it all together.
