We did this exactly this about a year ago, the solicitor and IR were
quite happy that no stamp duty was due as the transaction was 35k.
The seller had to sign something saying he wasn't going to be declared
bankrupt, and there would be Inheritence tax implications subject to
death in the next 7 years and large estates, otherwise no problem.
