Buying a house can seem confusing and daunting, particularly if it’s your first time.
Whether you’ve just inherited a property with other beneficiaries, or you’ve bought your first home with your partner, joint property ownership can seem confusing.
If you’re looking at buying a house, you’ll probably have come across the term ‘property chain’, particularly in reference to a property being ‘chain free’.

If you buy a property or land that cost over a certain amount, you must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).
