Course description
There can be many examples of clients moving in together - it may be a couple intending to cohabit or simply to share expenses, older relatives moving in with their adult children, adult children moving back with parents or a previously married couple starting a new relationship.
In any of these cases there are many pitfalls for the conveyancer - your task is not simply to convey the property but extends beyond that to questions of capacity, conflict, taxation, and trusts. It is timely to examine these and related matters.
Join popular presenter Paul Tobias for this handy 1-hour update which will explore topics such as constructive trusts where property is transferred to one party but both live there, SDLT 3% surcharge implications on the purchase of a ‘granny flat’ or annexe, conflict of interest in the context of joint buyers, ‘gifted deposits’, and much more.
