    Hi all,

    My fiance and myself are looking to purchase my parents home as they want to downsize.

    What are the legal implications I should consider?

    Suggest you discuss these issues with your solicitor. Will leave open for general comment subject to forum rule on legal advice

    As far as I am aware they will need to sell it to you at an approximate market value. As in, if the property was worth say €300k and you buy it for €150k because its your parents and they want to look after you, then there are tax implications as a result. Your solicitor will be able to advise you on this.

    Speak to a solicitor. You will need solid legal and tax advice particulary consanguity stamp duty planning

    Not forgetting you will need a separate solicitor to your parents.

    Consanguinity relief only applies to land specifically farm land.
