CGT implications of main residence election on property renovation.

I have lived in my current property as a main residence since 2002. I still have a buy-to-let property which I bought in 1995 and is my previous main residence. I have been renting this out since 2002.

I am now looking to demolish my existing home and am planning to rebuild. During this period I am trying to understand the tax implications of moving back to the rented property and making it a main residence for the duration of the build. I would then seek to sell the main residence (previously the buy-to-let) before moving back to the rebuilt home.

Could readers advise me on what the capital gains tax implications of doing this would be?
