    Just to add another Qs to the original post.

    I recently had a chat with Halifax. I have a flat (deed in my name, but I am not paying the equated monthly installments) in India. Halifax mentioned that since I have a property (with Loan) in my name in India, I am not eligible for being a first-time buyer in the UK.

    Just wondering what are my options then!

    Thanks in advance.


    Option 1 - stop going on about India.

    Can you please elaborate what you mean - are you suggesting even though X has a property in India that doesn't count and they can still be considered first time buyers? Or are you saying they shouldnt worry about disclosing their property there?
