If the deeds of your home have been transferred to you mortgage-free, you won’t have to pay stamp duty on the market value of the property. This often happens when properties are gifted or included in someone’s will. But if a share of a property is transferred to you and you take on responsibility for some or all of the mortgage, you may well have to pay stamp duty.
