I plan to give my grandson, aged 24, a buy to let flat that I have owned for several years. It will become his primary home. Although it is a gift, I appreciate that for CGT it will be deemed to have passed to him at market value, and only if I live for 7 years will it be exempt from IHT.
But as a gift will it be exempt from stamp duty. It falls within the 1% band
