Stamp duty payable when purchasing a ltd company is 0.5% as a share transfer. Your lawyer will be able to advise you further on this.
The large living space occupies the middle level of this triplex apartment, with engineered wood flooring running from the bespoke kitchen through to the living room.
The kitchen, fitted by Kitchens International, features a white Corian worktop over light grey cabinets. Integrated Siemens appliances include a four-ring induction hob with pop-up ventilation, two ovens, a warming drawer, and a fridge/freezer.
Beautiful original stained-glass windows, all secondary glazed, provide views over the private residents' grounds to the rear.
At the front of this level is the living room, which benefits from a striking double-height ceiling. A utility cupboard housing a Siemens washer and dryer is located between the kitchen and living room.
Above, a mezzanine level accommodates a study or third bedroom. Balconies overlook both the kitchen and living areas, and this level also includes an en suite shower room with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware.
On the lower level, there are two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers excellent integrated storage, while the second bedroom is also generously sized.
A family bathroom on this floor features a separate shower, WC, and sink, again with fittings by Villeroy & Boch.

1 Donaldson Drive is the award-winning redevelopment of the former Donaldson's College into luxury apartments by the renowned developer City and Country.
Designed by the architect William Henry Playfair, this striking Victorian building was constructed between 1842 and 1851. Originally built as a hospital, it was funded by James Donaldson, a printer and bookseller, who left his fortune to provide education for poor children.
The building is now Category A listed.
Residents of Flat 63, 1 Donaldson Drive benefit from two underground parking spaces.
The city centre, with its excellent shopping and amenities, is just a short walk away.
The property is within the catchment area for Roseburn Primary School or St Mary's RC Primary.
For secondary schools Craigmount High School and St Thomas of Aquin's RC High School are both excellent local options.
In addition, several of Edinburgh's leading independent schools are nearby, including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS, and St George's School for Girls.
