I know that if I buy a site from my parents and its under 1 acre and less than €500k, then I don’t have to pay stamp duty on it and they don’t have to pay capital gains tax as long as it’s to be used for my primary residence.
I was also speaking to my solicitor and he said that usually the bank don’t mind if myself and a partner are both on the mortgage and only my name is on the site. Even if we’re borrowing 92% of the cost of the house when it will be finished, that is we’re both borrowing the money to buy the site but only my name will be on it.
When I mentioned this to the bank they didn’t seem very happy and told me to go back to the solicitor as they didn’t think it could be done.
Does anyone know if it can be done?
