Gifting money, rental property to children

Hiya
We had some relatives over yesterday and they have consulted an IFA but none the wiser.

They want to as follows:

Gift a rental home to adult child not married, valuation 220k - no mortgage on it.

Gift about 150k to adult child that is married.

Questions:

Will there be stamp duty, their guess is no.

They are aware re caps gains, bought property for 200k in costs.

A solicitor will need to be involved re property gift, what costs in your opinion, like in the midlands.

They have a nice home worth about 600k and several rental properties and none have debts.

They have cash close to 180k

==

Re IFA, they felt he was more about 'investment trusts,' which in their opinion costs a load of money

Thanks

See above re gifts of property.

The relatives are gifting a property that is not their main home so need (as you say) to consider CGT.

There could be IHT implications.

They can make a gift of cash to their married child - no immediate tax implications but there could be IHT implications.

Who is gifting - husband, wife, both?
