Is my husband a fist time buyer


Hi im looking at investing in property  but my husband was put on to his ex girlfriend mortgage 17 years ago, does that mean he is not a first time buyer? He didn't benefit from stamp duty reduction as the house was already owned by his ex and he was added when she remortgaged

    Unfortunately he will not be classed as a first time buyer as he has previously owned a property.
