Hi all,
My mum wishes to sell me her house shes been renting out the value is 125k but she said i could buy it for 90k to help pay less stamp duty.
Is there any tips you know of on how I can do to avoid fee, legal fees stamp duty.
I was thinking of putting my name on the deeds then re mortgaging then taking my mums name off the deed.
Many thanks

Is there currently a mortgage?
From what you say, you do not have £90K so will need a mortgage yourrself?
Avoid conveyancing fees by dong the conveyancing yourself - though if you need a mortgge you'll still have to pay the lender's solicitor.......
Avoid mortgage arrangement fees by finding a lender who does not charge them (and/or who pays the legal or Valuation fees).
Avoid SDLT by paying bbelow the threshld. Be aware HMRC look more closely at sales on/near the threshold to ensure people are not evading SDLT.0 -
be more careful that HMRC will look at sales between connected persons where the "bargain is not at arm's length" and the price paid (the chargeable consideration) is artificially low for tax avoidance purposes onlyAvoid SDLT by paying bbelow the threshld.

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Sounds far to complicated, why not just buy the property at £90k with a new mortgage in your name then on the day of completion your Mum pays back her mortgage if any.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Mum will be liable for CGT based on a sale at £125k whatever figure she sells to you at because you are connected persons.[/FONT]0
