If he owns this house (or shares the equity with his parents) and it is not his main residence then he is liable of capital gains tax. It is due on the captial gain he makes on it - the difference between its value to him at the start and the end, less the amount he invested in it in 2000, less any CG allowances he can use. He would normally get some taper relief also.
Its impossible to work out an exact % for you - a tax accountant or HMRC will have to do that.
