CGT Non uk resident - sell of uk rented property

Hi I require some advice!
I have a client who is a non uk resident and lives in France. He has a rented property in the UK which he wishes to sell (never been his private residence). I believe he will have to pay UK CGT on any profits he makes on the uk sale as he became a non resident after 1998. The question is will he be subject to French taxation too?
Any input gratefully received.
Thanks

AFAIK, if he is non uk residence, then there he is not laible to uk cgt. He may be subject to french tax.
If he is non uk residence at the time of disposal of an asset, still he is not chargeable to cgt. He has to report the gain on uk tax return, if he return before 5 complete tax year as a non residence.
