Do I qualify as a first time buyer?

Options
My situation:

Bought an apartment 4 years ago and sold that, it was in both our names.

Bought another apartment and it is currently let, also in both our names.

Want to buy a house to live in and will be registered in my name only.

Am I considered a first time buyer in this situation? I am not selling in order to move as we currently rent.

Thank you.

    You're not a first time buyer.

    You can ask a lender if you qualify for a first time buyer deal, but these are rarely better than any other deals that are available.
