I bought a house with a friend. The type of ownership is "Joint tenancy".Can I buy my friend out of the house without incurring stamp duty?. We were both first time buyers so didn't pay it originally.
 
this is a tricky one which I know not much but off the top of my head you are now as a non first time buyer, purchasing half a house so to speak and maybe liable to stamp duty on that half. Just my 2c worth.

Good digging pudds. I was looking the last couple of days for that and couldn't find it. Well unfortunately I did purchase another house in the meantime. If it was only stamp duty on the half share been purchased that wouldn't be to bad. Thanks again pudds your a legend
