Hello
The property is a flat in London. It was bought by the parents in the 1990s. The 'family understanding' was that beneficial ownership was shared 50-50 between two brothers. However, only the name of brother 1 was put on the property title. The property has no mortgage.
Brother 1 is non UK resident.
Brother 2 is UK resident and has lived in the property since 2000. He is considering a homeowner's loan as a way of paying off some of his credit card debts which are incurring significant interest.
Brother 1 agrees with brother 2's plan to get a homeowner's loan.
No money would change hands between the brothers.
What are the tax implications (CGT, SDLT etc) of changing the legal documents to show the brothers as jointly owning the property?
Are there any other tax and legal implications worth noting? (e.g. inheritance implications? - they both have children and might want to take further homeowner loans or sell the flat in the future).
Thank you in advance
