Postby kanrent » Wed Jul 29, 2020 3:23 am

Hi can anyone help. if I transfere ownership of my only home to my daughter (no money involved) does she still have to pay stamp duty on the value of the property? She is non resident.

If no mortgage and no consideration, then no SDLT on a true gift. You should consider the CGT position.

If the property was your main home, you may qualify for principal private residence relief from CGT. You will also be making a potentially exempt transfer for IHT purposes. It’ll probs to be worth getting some formal advice.
