Mortgage with Two Other Family Members - I Want to Get out

I am currently in a 3 way mortgage, myself and 2 others and I want to get out. What’s the best way to go about this? The other 2 owners are family members and I want to go my own way

Can I sort it internally with the bank and transfer my share of home ownership and mortgage to the other 2? Will I need to hire lawyer? Will I have to pay stamp duty?

    A 3-way death pledge sounds like a horrible cocktail.

          If you want to get engaged maybe you need an Ozbargain ring sizer :)

    Get 3 market appraisals. Take the average and have them buy you out. That’s as fair as you’re going to get and will remove any come back in future about it being unfair.

    You should get a lawyer who does conveyancing to do the transaction. Stamp duty will be more than likely unless it’s a primary residence. May even be capital gains tax so would be wise to seek tax advice too.

    • It is a primary residence , all 3 of us live in the house, so no stamp duty ?

      • It’s too important not to see a lawyer or accountant

      • Stamp duty will need to be paid if there is any change in ownership. So, when you sell your share to the other two - the other two have to pay stamp duty on the fair market value of your share - can't just sell it cheap in the hope of low stamp duty.

  • Do the other two owners want to buy you out?

      or can they afford to, or have you discussed with them? Spoken to anyone ? Done anything?

      • I don’t want to be bought out, I just want out, don’t care about money

        • So you want to gift your share to the other two?

  • How the (profanity) did this ever seem like a good idea?

  • I am also very curious about this. Obviously, the sure way is to change the names and pay stamp duty. But is there a way to do this without paying stamp duty? Can you still be the owner of the property but not as a mortgagor (by paying off all your share for example)?
