If you sell for more than the INHERITED TAX VALUE you will pay tax on that gain. 

You should use the market value of the property when working out your gain if you do not know the value when inherited.

you'll pay 18% capital gains tax (CGT) as a basic-rate taxpayer, or 28% if you pay a higher rate of tax.
