My spouse and I have recently bought a 2nd joint property that will be our ppor. Our current home will become a rental property. Are we able to transfer the rental property solely to my spouse and what cost/implications would be involved in doing so.
While your current home is your main residence there would probably be no capital gains tax (CGT) implications as your home is generally exempt from CGT. See link

Can't comment on stamp duty - contact your local state authority that deals with property transfers and stamp duty.
