We're buying 50% share of £140,000 property.
Will we pay stamp duty?
Who collects this?

yes, and I do believe that you have to pay SDLT on the whole property, regularsaver1 was looking into this.
You pay it at exchange via your solicitor.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
GhostDog research these threads a bit more
I recall reading on here that there were options:
1. Pay stamp duty on portion you are buying now.
2. Pay stamp duty on 100% value (if you plan on staircasing in the future).
3. Pay no stamp duty as your portion if less than SDT.
Not sure which is actually correct as my sol hasn't mentioned anything, but I would be able to scrape together that money if it turns out we do have to pay, but it would definitely only be on the portion we are purchased.
Best to check out with your sol, and suggest I take heed of my own advise too.0 -
I spoke only lawt week to the Inland revenue as said you only pay stamp duty on the proportion that you own, so as its only 50% of 140k you shouldnt pay anything as it would be 70k rather than 1% of 125k
There is a charge I believe if you then increase that amount if it rises above the 125k.0 -
Thanks everyone.....I have spent hours reading through the threads - what a brilliant site this is.:T Really don't know how I'd have managed to get this far without it. :beer:
The problem is the questions keep eating my brain in the middle of the night and when one is answered another pops up! :rolleyes: :money: :rolleyes:
Thank you for your patience :A0 -

Yes - found out you pay it on your share if your rent exceeds £600 a year
it seems not every solicitor is picking this up though - but they should do
so even if total property was £100k - lower than normal SD threshold, but rent was higher than £600 then you would pay it on share
worth checking for more details from land registry and inland revenue though0
