Discount when buy other person out

Postby Bill31 » Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:34 pm

If 2 co owners as tenants in common living in main residence; if one buys the other share out do they apply 15% discount? Or is that only applied on death?

Eg: house value 500k. Half share of whole is 250k. If the other person moves out what can their half share be bought for at true market value? Does it include the 15% discount for co ownership? Or is that only on death?

You negotiate a price. No automatic discount.
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA
