hi my partner has lived with me for 18 months, we arent married. For the last 14 months she has rented her house out but is selling it (shes owned it for 4 years and previously lived in it 2.5 years) She wants a 50% split in my house that ive owned for 2 1/2 years - she is going to have to pay £200k, £100k off mortgage and give me a £100k cash.

We are just working out some figures. As i understand it, she will be liable for stamp duty on the part she buys of my house? (2% over £125k)
Am i/we liable for CGT or any other nasty gotchas?

cheers!

Instead of getting married will you start a limited company instead?
makes much more sense than an outdated ritual
err didnt mention getting married!?!

Thanks for pointers so far - yes we are getting a division of equity drawn up. She is also paying a life insurance policy on my half so if i pop my clogs my kids get my % inheritance and she wont have to sell the house
