    Call what you want. The HMRC will most certainly take a different view if the "arrangement" is contrived.

    I think HMRC being interested is unlikely on the basis of the information given. No Income Tax issue, possible IHT (PET) but unlikely to be significant unless the parents' total estate is £650k plus.

    The tax issue surely is more about :

    1ownership / Rental income on original property( assume parents are declaring)- also note this original investment property would be part of parents assets in case of care
    2. Poss cgt on the new property
