why do you need a mortgage, if your selling a house you inherited?0

Yes, as presumably the house is still in the name of the deceased, not you?
Doesn't really make any difference anyway, as few lenders have deals specifically for FTB'sI am a mortgage adviser.You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

It is yes , and then i think the executors (myself and my bro) would sell it after obtaining probate on the basis that it would transfer from my nans (deceased) name straght into our buyers name...Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -

You never actually own the property the estate does. You'll receive the proceeds of the sale as part of the distribution of the estate under the terms of the will.0 -

The definition of FTB is flexible according to who wants to know. In your case, it will depend on the lender's definition so if it is relevant, you need to check their definition. Under the old Stamp Duty exemption, if you ever held an interest in a property, you would never be an FTB. Academic now, but it might have hinged on whether the will was that you get the proceeds of sale of the property or you get the property.when i go to a mortgage provider , am i a FTB ?You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0
