I need to decide whether to proceed as a BTL, or just sell given the tightening of rules around BTL.

The mediator was aghast at such a fair solution but it worked for us. The solicitor advised that there might be a stamp-duty implication as the deal also included her taking 100% ownership of the family house, but luckily the ex was also a solicitor (a better one...) and was able to point out that transactions between spouses aren't stampable and we would still be spouses at the time of the transaction.
There is legislation to avoid this where the transfer is made as part of a financial agreement between separating spouses or court orders etc. but I would definitely advise the OP to speak to his accountant about this, especially because the additional 3% surcharge would likely apply too if stamp duty was payable.
In the OP's case the Stamp Duty is probably avoidable but it depends where they are up to in agreeing settlements etc.

Our mediator was pretty rubbish as he would not suggest a fair split amount other than kids requirements come first, which we kind of knew anyhow.

We will split the equity 50/50, so can I therefore re-mortgage to £150k and pay the wife her £50k equity share out of this ?
