Reclaim extra 3% stamp duty?

[Caseyjones]

Hello all, my first post here. If I sell my main residence within 3 years of buying my BTL and move into the BTL as my new main residence (it was bought with a tenant already in residence but who has now moved on), would I be able to claim back the 3% additional stamp duty paid, as that property is...

Hi all,

I currently own a property ABC and want to transfer it into a limited company buy to let. My question is split into some parts;

Will I become a guarantor on property ABC once it forms part of the limited company? If so will this appear on my credit report?

Hi.

We purchased buy to let property with a small 5 year mortgage.

1. We paid 3% stamp duty on the sale (£4000). Can it be put against tax?
2. Can we put the mortgage repayments against tax because we heard from our mortgage broker that tax relief is fazed out gradually,...

I'd be really gratedul if any one could offer some advice as I've tried countless local accountants and cannot seem to find one to give me the exact answers I need.

I'm at the early stage of setting up a ltd (spv) company to hold my current main residence, which isn't mortgaged and...

I am about to buy a house and bridge while I sell my exist house (yes, I know!!). They will be my main residence, so I will need to pay the 3% stamp duty surcharge and claim it back after I sell my existing house. However.... I also already own a holiday let - will this prevent me from getting a re...

If you own several properties and seek to move them all under a company, the company will have to pay the higher stamp duty.
But what if you create multiple companies, so that each company ends up with only 1 property, there should be no higher stamp duty to pay?

Hi Everyone,

I've just joined this forum and it looks amazing.

My situation is that I have a flat in London which I lived in for 10 years before moving to Scotland for work. I bought a small flat in Scotland which is my primary residence at the moment.

Hello,
My wife and I jointly own 4 rental properties and we're planning to move house (our main residence). From my research, the 3% stamp duty fine won't affect us - we'll be selling our main residence (where we live all the time) and buying a new main residence. But the estate agent who is handling...

My mum owns 50% of the property she is living in and the other 50% is held in a Trust whose beneficiaries are my two brothers. The current value of the property is £135K and is mortgage free.

One of my brothers lives here and the other in the USA – both have their own residential...

I think I've found a way to circumvent the higher stamp duty if you have the right circumstances. Read below and let me know if I've missed something.

Say two people who trust each other have purchased multiple properties together as tenants in common, let's say husband and wife. Each...

Afternoon,

I own 2 properties with my sister who now lives abroad. We rent them both out. One is a joint mortgage (£250k property, 79k remaining on mortgage) and I wish to release equity from the property to buy an additional property for myself and my wife to live (currently renting)....

Hi all

Just trying to work out whether we'd need to pay any additional 'second home' stamp duty.

My fiance and I have been living together for 3 years; the house/mortgage is in my name only.

We plan to buy a new home, and will have a shared mortgage.

I am thinking of transferring a BTL property from my sole name into joint names with my wife to save tax. We both already own other property. The outstanding mortgage on the property being transferred is less than £80,000, so the mortgage debt taken on by my wife would be below £40,000, although the...
