    Stamp duty question for joint ownership?

    Hi,

    I am intending to buy a residential property with a joint mortgage with my partner to live in. I previously owned a residential property which I sold in March 2016 and currently I own a btl property which is rented.
    My partner is a first time buyer and I am not, at present I do not own a residential property and I am wondering if on a purchase price of £400,000 the stamp duty will be £10,000 or £22,000?

    I really appreciate if someone could please clarify that.

    Many Thanks

    Z

    £22,000

    The flowchart in the picture explains why (except that 18 months is now 36 months)

      According with the pic I shouldn't pay the high rate because at the end of the day of the transaction I will own 2 properties, but the second property bought together with my partner replace my main residence (which has been sold 2 months ago). So we should pay £10k correct?

        If you still own the BTL, then you will own 2 properties.

          I have just called hmrc and they told me that having sold my residential property last month I have now 35 months left to buy a new main residential property paying the basic stamp duty rate even if I own other BTL properties.
          Can anyone confirm this?

            Which department did you telephone at HMRC and do you have the phone number?

              Considering selling our rental property and trying to estimate how much CGT is due. We are both basic rate tax payers and the gain from the property will take us into higher rate, so the amount of tax we pay will depend on income for that year – it does vary year to year. I presume the relevant income...

              Yes

              You do, or better an accountant but essentially you report and pay the gain at HMRC https://www.gov.uk/report-and-pay-yo...r-6-april-2020 estimating what you need to, and then report it again essentially in your tax return...

              You estimate your income for this year and declare and pay the tax accordingly.
              When you complete your tax return for the tax year, the figures are adjusted then....

              60 days not 2 months.

              Hello again.

              Just wondering if someone can advise.

              If I sell a BTL to my children who do not own their own property, I understand that they'll get the stamp duty relief.... two questions then.

              If they're buying the £350,000 jointly, does the relief count for...

              If the buyers are going to rent the property while they go to university, it may meet the criteria for Stamp Duty Relief but it may not.
              It would be unusual for siblings leaving university to be able to commit to cohabit in a particular place when they graduate.

              There's obviously...

              Apart from anything else, if you are selling the property to the kids, you are getting cash and they have a 100% mortgage - and then they are not actually paying a mortgage on 100% of 350K you will be paying it -- it is not a classic GROB, but risks falling foul of GROB rules - so when you die, even...

              Thanks.

              Yes, the lender is happy to lend them 100% the purchase price so not gifting on our side. In essence, it's just removing it from our name into theirs as he is also our lender.

              It's unusual I appreciate but it's a private commercial lender - if that makes sense. His...
