Giften house...first time buyer?

Options
I was gifted a house with my ex boyfriend by his father whilst we were still in a relationship. Does this mean I am no longer a first time buyer? :mad:

    Is this for the purposes of Help to buy or a Mortgage in general?

  • Was your name registered with the Land Registry (including jointly) or did you just live there when it was in the ex's/dad's name?
  • I didn't live in the property. The property was bought, put into our names and then sold within a matter of weeks.
  • Both really, if I am listed as fist time buyer I'm interested in help to buy.

    If you no longer own the property, what is the concern?
