stamp duty on inherited property

stamp duty on inherited property

Postby andyyr74 on Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:33 pm

My Father died in January. He owned a rental property equally with my Mother, worth £400,000, his share worth £200,000.
My Father's share passes to me and my brother equally so we own one quarter of the property each, valued at £100,000. Are there going to be any stamp duty implications of carrying out this transfer?

Many thanks, in advance

No SDLT will apply. SDLT is based on actual remittance and you are not paying for the share. I assume there is no mortgage involved in the property. Regards Peter
