Hi, I'm purchasing a new property to use as a primary residence. It's unlikely that the current property will get sold before buying the new one. Therefore, I'll have to pay the additional rate stamp duty on the new one. If I transfer the current company over to a limited company (owned by me), am I eligible for the refund of additional stamp duty? Or if the transfer happens before I buy the new one, will I be considered as owning only one property and, therefore, the normal rate of stamp duty applies?
