For stamp duty you don't count as a first time buyer. First time buyer mortgage deals may be available to you though as you currently don't have a mortgage. I think lenders vary on this point. I don't know if the current FTB deals on offer are any better than those available to non FTBs.0

Lender's do vary, some apparently have a 3 year rule over not being on a mortgage others are simply never ever.0
