Stamp duty

Who assumed that? Geddoutofityoumuppet
Your original post omitted the important detail, so an assumption was required to verify if the figures added up.
A 10 year period was not out-of-the question. Usually a lump sum for emergency would be required on retirement for someone previously covered by an employer's medical cover, so at 65 a lump sum is required for emergencies. The retiree dies at 75, and the remaining parent moves in with their child. All perfectly feasible and probable scenarios.

Your original post omitting the important detail:
Our friends parents took out £30k equity release years ago and…….. stuck it in the bank! When the mum sold their house a year ago to move in with them, it sold for £650k. They had to pay £50k because she hadn’t died and only ended up walking away with £300k. What idiots!

Your later post embroidering the detail to support your earlier narrative when you realised you were being held to account:
I’m only going on what I’ve been told. I think the equity release was about 25 years ago
Or more. They’d been in the house 40+ years. All I know is our friends are gutted about it. £30k all those years ago was a fair chunk of equity.

Never had to pay it myself but it is stupid.


(Sorry didn't want to start a thread)

What I see in that clip is a horrible BBC commie woman outlining a plan for removing people from their houses, in order to hasten population replacement. Note the anti- conservative Britain lament at the end.

There shouldn't be a tax on houses, or on many other things. We have to pay such a lot of tax because the government squanders it; and the reason why houses are so expensive and in-demand is because of all the extra people.
