This will probably sit better on the Property board rather than DAK so I'm moving it with a shadow left in DAK for previous responders... (chas49)
Hi All
I used to be a regular lurker and occasional poster at 'the other place' under a similar name. And now I have one of those open questions, that is far better answered by a group than by google, so I''m back again for advice please.
We are planning to buy a house quite a distance from our current location. For a number of reasons we will be buying this before we put our old house on the market.
Apart from the higher rate stamp duty (that I should be able to reclaim), and capital gains is there anything else that I need to be aware of and plan for, especially anything that might be time sensitive?
Additional info in case it is relevant:
- Both homes will be 'main residences'
- An additional family member (daughter) will be staying in the old house until she gets her own place (for months not years..)
- no mortgages involved
Thanks
Lottie
