I think if you transfer a second property to anyone you become liable for capital gains and/or inheritance tax.
Could cost alot more than the rates bill...

their build quality is pretty poor . Look on the bright side, it's lead to the creation of a whole new profession of 'Snagging Consultant' so you can make sure everything is fixed whilst it's still under guarantee.

The doubling of Council tax is certainly having an impact in some areas - lots of second home owner property on the market in Somerset and to a degree in Dorset. By putting it on the market they get normal rates for a year. I guess it is having the desired effect for some Councils.- freeing up houses for locals ?
However like most government/Local council actions people can find a way round (not going to say friends) who have ‘transferred ownership’ to a son and a couple who decoupled (aka separated, registered on the electoral register and got round it !!
Best regards MM
PS Trust everyone is enjoying top down weather. I think you can get around it by registering your second home as a business and therefore business rate and any respective relief, but you have to rent for a minimum of 60 days a year...... Making a lifetime gift of your interest in your house between husband and wife is tax free.
