Can I add my parents to a property they gifted me the money to buy?

Hi there, my parents gave me money to buy a property last year, but we realised that it was not the right decision. We would like to add their names to the title deed. We are aware that their share would fall back into their estate for future IHT considerations but we are worried that HMCR would view this as a tax avoidance move. Could my parents write to HMRC e.g. the Stamp Duty Dept and voluntarily paid the stamp duty 3% of their share which is what would have been had if they purchased a 2nd property. They already have their own home. Thanks in advance for any advice that you could give me.
