Hi,
TSEM9852 advises thay once a declaration is made it remains in force until the couple’s interests in the property or income change, or they stop living together as a married couple or as civil partners of each other.
TSEM9852 - Form 17 rule - how couple make declaration
You will have to submit a new declaration to change the exsisting declaration.
Declare beneficial interests in joint property and income
As there is no tax liability from the transfer of assets between spouses or civil partners, the asset is transferred at the original cost.
Please have a look at the guidance on expenditure at CG15150P as some changes are considered 'maintenance and repairs' and are not allowable to set against capital gains.

Thank you.
