No, you paid the duty applicable at that time, changes aren't applied retrospectively.Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0

No, because the stamp duty relief isn't retrospective.
Read the HMRC notes at www.hmrc.gov.uk
Quote
"First-time buyers of residential property can apply for SDLT relief if all of the following apply:
the effective date is on or after 25 March 2010 and before 25 March 2012"
Your effective date appears to be before 25 March 2010....0 -
