F&F jinky to avoid Stamp Duty - Legal?
I thought the practice of splitting a purchase price into house + fixtures/fittings to avoid stamp duty was illegal, but this agent has put it in black and white in their RM advert... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-20777549.rsp?pa_n=1&tr_t=buy I presume then that the practice is just frowned upon, rather than…

Fellow Landlords what would you think of this
I think there should be a scheme that if the tenants trash the property they have to pay 3x the cost of repairs. Also if they do not pay their rent there should be a scheme that they have to pay 3x their outstanding debt and until they pay they are not allowed to rent anywhere else.:D
