Hello, first time poster here as Google has lead me to the site 
I'm trying to work out what level of stamp duty I'm going to be liable for when I buy out the remaining share of a house part owned by my wife. The details are as follows.
The house is split into 5ths.
My wife has £53k equity and a 1/3rd share of what was a £150k mortgage.
Her brother has the same share.
His girlfriend has a 1/3rd share of the mortgage, which means she has paid of £3k equity.
Purchase price: £249,999
I've agreed to pay my wife's brother £53k and his girlfriend £3k and I will take on the rest of the mortgage which will be in the region of £141k.
We won't be re-mortgaging as the lender have agreed to change the names on the mortgage and we will carry on paying at the current rate (The 3 year fixed deal has ended so we will be on the base rate).
The thing I'm not sure on is what I will pay stamp duty on? The purchase price? The equity? Or something else?!
Thanks in advance
