It depends on the size of the garden - in some circumstances none. Best seek professional advice

If the garden is less than half a hectare then there would normally be no capital gains. If it is greater then there would be an apportionment of the cost of the house to calculate the gain arising. There are various reliefs and exemptions also available, and so as
dzug says, professional advice would be recommended. The fact that you have a mortgage is not relevant to capital gains tax.
