i also have a site worth around 100,000 circa which my father gifted to me last year. no SD duty to pay on this but I am leaving it in my name instead of sharing it jointly with my husband. We have been told that the prudent way is to do this in a few years time!? We start build this year but will not need an irish mortgage as building from own savings and it will be our main home when we leave London.
My question is, is there SD due once the build of the house is finalised? I believe there isn't ? the house will be worth about 600,000 with a build cost of about 220,000 or thereabouts so effectively double in value or more considering we got the site for nothing apart from paying all legal costs involved in the transfer for myself and father.
