stamp duty

[ugly_bob]

ok, so here's the situation - my parents are splitting up. If I decided to buy my mum's half of the house, leaving may dad as owning the other half, what would the liability for stamp duty be?
The house is worth approx �270,000, so by buying half, would I be liable for 1% of �135,000 or the full whack of 3% of �270,000, or something else?
