For investment my friend & I bought two houses (60k each) to live in (separately) in my wife's name. My friend had a deed of trust set up for his share of the deposit and ownership for both houses. This was done since my friend and I were students and could not obtain a mortgage, unlike my wife who was PAYE. We have moved out now for over a year and the properties have been left vacant. We have now decided that we want to start letting them out and re-mortgage the properties (worth 175k each) to release some equity and so that we can buy more properties. We would like to transfer the properties in our names whilst re-mortgaging and set a limited company. As I understand it we would have to 'buy' the houses from my wife, but we would be using 'her' money to do so! What are the tax implications of all this and by whom are they payable? I realise that we may not have made the best choices in the past but I am where I am now and looking to move forward. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
