Adding spouse to BTL remortgage - SDLT?
I own a single BTL property in my own name. My earnings (PAYE) is slowly creeping up to the point where earnings plus rental income will take me into the 40% tax bracket. My wife currently earns a lot less. If we split the rental income 50/50 I would avoid the 40% tax. If I decide to remortgage and add my wife, will she…

What's the equivalent of foreclosure in the UK?
Was watching a lot of stuff about the 2008 housing crash recently and I find it all quite interesting. It kinda passed me by at the time I was in my 20s and also didn't own a home or anything and basically I wasn't interested :-).
