Can I gift my property to my children or a family member?
Yes, you can gift a property to a loved one, whether that’s a partner, a child or someone else. But you need to be aware of the complicated tax rules around this.
Whether you incur a tax bill will largely depend on:
• Who you have gifted the property to
• Whether the property is your main home
• Gifts are usually exempt from inheritance tax (IHT) if:
• They are below the nil rate band of £325,000
• The giver survives for more than seven years
