Would love to keep our family home, but can’t afford to.

IHT and stamp duty are fuckers. We would need to work for 2.5 years to earn the upfront tax, assuming no other outlay on anything such as food.

Sorry, no other assets and yes, from parents.

What does that do please? There are three of us.
Home is a London suburb - decent sized house in average area. Needs work but liveable.

Presumably a home you are inheriting from your parents?

What’s the value of the home and how many people is it split between?

Are there any other assets? You could use a deed of variation to split the estate differently as to how outlined in the will?

Agree stamp duty is an appalling tax.
