Stamp duty when buying out other half of house

[ger1970]

Back in 2003, my sister and I bought a house together. We were both first time buyers and did not have to pay stamp duty. I am now buying my sister out - What are the stamp duty implications? Will I have to pay stamp duty on the half I am buying from my sister

Have you read existing threads on this topic? For example this recent one:

Stamp Duty Query -- Buying my friend out

For what it's worth SD on transfers between related parties is charged at half the normal rate due to "consanguinity relief".
