The Client

Our client was the sole owner of a property. However, due to the recent changes in tax regulations, he expressed a desire to transfer ownership of his buy-to-Let property to his spouse. This decision stemmed from the fact that his wife qualifies as a nil rate taxpayer, making it more advantageous to hold the property under her name rather than his own.

The Solution

Despite our client's lack of income, we successfully secured a lender willing to provide her with the required amount. To achieve this, we introduced our client to a trusted tax adviser, who frequently refers clients to our business. The tax adviser conducted a thorough consultation with our client to determine the most tax-effective approach to proceed with. Consequently, we were able to proceed with a concessionary purchase, resulting in a mortgage amount of £136k and a stamp duty transfer only charged based on this figure, rather than the true value. This approach proved to be an advantageous solution for our client.
