关于first time buyer

不知道这里的大神有什么解释?本人来英国一直租房数年,后来找到老婆本身在这里有房产,属于个人私产在组租着收息没贷款,我也从来没有碰过。最近想买房子了,我出钱贷款都是自己的,可是不知道这算不算第二套房,这个感觉很郁闷!还有就是结婚在国内注册的,英国这边没注册过,不知道能不能算第一套房子。即使公正我对于她的房子放弃一切权利也不行吗?谢谢解答!

简单点说法律上你得交3%的二房税,要不要冒险违法你自己决定

如果你们分开住,两个房子都是home的话好像可以不需要,但是你们这种出租的估计是3%,具体问律师

无论出租或是自住都得交3%,另外请律师声明放弃对第一个房子的权益也没用。因为在这个问题上夫妻是作为一个个体对待,不管房子在谁名下,都属于夫妻这个个体

夫妻分居两地的话好像可以

no you can’t. Please check official document:
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-higher-rates-of-stamp-duty-land-tax-sdlt-on-purchases-of-additional-residential-properties/higher-rates-of-stamp-duty-land-tax-sdlt-on-purchases-of-additional-residential-properties
This means that:

married couples and civil partners may own one main residence between them at any one time for the purposes of the higher rates
property owned by either partner (and any minor children) will be relevant when determining if an additional property is being purchased or not. Therefore, an individual buying a property may be liable for the higher rates if his or her spouse or civil partner has an existing residential property. If the spouse or civil partner then sells that residential property they may be able to claim a refund
[b]Married couples and civil partners are treated as living together, and therefore as one unit, unless they are separated:

under a court order; or
by a formal Deed of Separation executed under seal.[/b]

应该不是像你说的这样的吧 房产归属权 即使是夫妻 也是有区别的 谁的就是谁的

my friend what you said is right, but what I was trying to explain regarding LZ’s question is when deciding if you need to pay 3% surcharge, it doesn’t matter who owns the existing property( being youself only, your wife only or jointly ), a couple will be treated as one unit, you are liable to pay the surcharge.

你说的太对了 真正确 鼓掌 楼主一定很感谢你!
