Have a buy to let mortgage which my son wants to buy

hello there in a bit of a situation at the moment.
i have a buy to let property say the house house is worth £160000. My sons wants to buy the property and didnt know whether i could let him have it for what my mortgage is worth say £100000.I would do this for him because as you know first buyers are struggling with big deposits and so i thought this might help him get on the ladder as his income is only around 27k .So im putting this forward to find out whether i would still get hit for capital gains or stamp duty etc.Thanks for any help on this

    Yes you can sell John. Yes he can buy without cash.


    You can expect CGT assuming there has been growth in the value and you exceed your CGT limit. (one for your Accountant)


    He needs to pay the SDLT.

    I'm on less than 27k a year and I have managed to save for a deposit.

    Young people these days seem to want to buy a house AND have all the luxaries they are used to.
