Selling my house to my own limited company - is this a good idea?

Your company would also be liable for SDLT (or equivalent) at the higher rate on its purchase price.

And ATED if valued at over £500k

Thank you for the comments everyone.

I think I confused myself when writing my post, so here's some extra background:

So, I could potentially transfer ownership of my house to my own company.  Could I?  That would bring some tax benefits (corporate v income), initial costs to set up a ltd company and but some problems if I wanted to sell or withdraw income from the company (thanks @theoretica).

Or, I could sell my house to 'myself', i.e. my company, and would need to raise the deposit for the company to buy it and have ongoing repayments.  Could you re-mortgage the property to do this?  Would this negate any gains from the tax income advantage above with the extra costs?  This would be a long term arrangement, as I want to retain the house.

Capital gains if I sold would affect approximately £85, 500.  What would be the cost on this?

I appreciate this all might be totally obvious to people in the know, or I've understood things incorrectly - but that's why I'm here, i.e. to figure this all out. :-)
