Thanks everyone for your good advice,
Just been thinking things over the weekend and I was hoping someone could advise me of how feasible the possibility of me buying my partner out of the apartment would be? Here are the details below and I would really appreciate any feedback you can give me. I know there is stamp duty implications so I would need to factor all of this in.
Current mortgage €170,000
buy out of partner - €70,000
New Mortgage €260,000 (would like to pay off existing car loan €20,000)
Stamp duty???? Can you please advise what stamp duty I would be liable for in a buy out situation. Do you only pay stamp duty on the amount you are remortaging for?
Any advice you could give me would be hugely appreciated as I am in a bit of a dilemma at the moment as my partner wants an answer as to what I want to do as he is not in a position to buy me out?
Thanks
