Quick Question

in Mortgages & endowments
I currently own my house (well the bank does), if i was to sell and go into rented accomodation for a year or so, then decided to buy again. Would i be classed as a first time buyer?

I don't mean with the mortgage company but with firms such as Barrett / Whimpy etc.

Thanks:D

    No.

    When you buy a house for the first time you are a first time buyer.

    When you buy a house for the second time you are a second time buyer.

    What benefits do you think a first time buyer actually gets?
