Hello,
I'm living with my partner in a house that we've jointly owned (50/50) for >10 years.
We have decided that we will live apart in the future.
We are not married or in a civil partnership.
We plan to keep the family home until the youngest child reaches 18.
I will buy a new house which will be my main residence.
We don't own any other properties.
I understand that I will need to pay the higher rate of stamp duty since I already own one house.
If:
- We enter into a civil partnership before I buy the new property.
- We dissolve the civil partnership within 3 years (this cannot be done for at least 1 year).
- We obtain a Mesher order and a Property Adjustment Order.
Can I reclaim the 3% SDLT surcharge (in the same way I could if the family home was sold within 3 years)?
