In 2005 I bought a BTL property in London with an outstanding mortgage of ~£150,000 and a current market value of ~ £500,000. The apartment has never been lived in by me and my name alone is on the title deeds and mortgage.

Reply to Adding wife to BTL propertyI don't seem to be able to view the image re option 1. I'm keen to know if it is possible to split ownership with wife without adding her to the mortgage.

Reply to Adding wife to BTL propertyOption 2
If your wife isn't on the mortgage, the transfer is a gift and there's no consideration and no SDLT.
The gain from the point of transfer would be split.
If there's no saving of income tax, there's no saving other than the CGT allowance (assuming there aren't any changes...-

Reply to Adding wife to BTL propertyYou're right, I remember that post. I agree that it's possible to do it but I feel if HMRC did take the time to view it then it could be classed as fraudulent, evading stamp duty and income tax.

Reply to Adding wife to BTL propertyWhere property is owned as tenancy in common, the default presumption is that each tenant owns the property in equal proportions.
But that doesn't have to be the case, the ownership can be shared in specified proportions, so 1% and 99%, or 60%:40% are possible.

Reply to Adding wife to BTL propertyIs this possible (genuine question)? I understand the tenants in common bit but I thought you then needed a declaration of trust in order to change the proportions....
