HSBC definition of a first time buyer

bluestarlight

Could anyone tell me what HSBC define a first time buyer as?

I owned a house from 2004 - 2007. I now want to apply for another mortgage but the website only gives options of FTB, moving house or remortgaging. Which I am neither of! I am buying with a partner who is a FTB if that makes any difference. Just wondering if I am wasting my time applying for one of their products. They have a great fee free 10% deal at the moment.

Thanks.

Just select the 'moving house' option and go from there. I was in a similar situation and am about half way through my house purchase. You cant get an FTB mortgage if you've already owned, and i don't think the deals available to you would differ anyway really.
