While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

If you'd had the opportunity to do the same would you have turned it down bearing in mind we were also helping my mum at the time? It certainly wasn't all about us making a profit.
No I would not.0 -
I'm no expert, but I think if you change the property into your name after the statutory 3 years, and then when you come to sell it, your going to have a capital gains impact as its not your Principle private residence......
If it was me, I'd be leaving it in mums name & she can move if she wants to or whatever and then hopefully she can leave it to you in her will. This way you have no capital gains and she has control of where & how she lives & you inherit as & when
That is an idea we have given thought to and probably will choose this route. Thanks for your advice.0 -

Positive, perhaps the law is different in Scotland.0
