Default French resident selling UK home - taxable gain in France?

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, moving to Lille in September. My understanding of the tax situation is that if I move with the intention of staying permanently, I'm classed as resident for tax purposes from the day after I arrive.

My concern is the sale of my main home in the UK. Hopefully this will complete before I move, but if not, am I liable for French CGT on the sale? It's crucial to get this right considering the potential tax bill, but it's not clear from any documentation I've found on French taxation.

Any French residents here who've sold overseas property (ie not in France)?

Thanks
Drew
