I am evaluating buying the house that my dad left us (4 children).
My brother is the executor and is agreeable in principle.
The probate has been granted to proceed.
So I would pay 75% of the market value ( i e give 25% of the agreed purchase price to each of my 3 siblings)
I would be getting a mortgage for the full amount (this is still a "75%" mortgage as well).
My question is:
Do I have to pay 1% stamp duty or not, and if I do is it on the mortgage amount of the agreed price ?
many thanks for any replies.
