I have a house myself (which im selling) but my partner (a First time buyer) and myself are buying a new build house over 125sqm in size and Im not sure if we will have to have to pay stamp duty if my name is on the deeds? I know we can just put his name on the deeds until we get married approx 12m but still get the joint mortgage but it is just not an ideal situation from my perpective as Ill will have no protection until then. Some people are saying that when its over 125sqm then even though its a new build we will have to pay stamp duty but others are saying that regardless what size it is if its a new build its exempt from stamp duty. Anyone able to clarify this for me?
