Hello there Ladies and Gentlemen,

Quick question for you folks, hopefully you can help. Recently purchased a property in Eire on a BTL mortgage. I did not claim 1st time buyer grant etc in Eire.

If I were to buy a property in UK, would I be deemed a first time buyer, can i get 1st time buyer allowance?

Thanks All,

Sean

    it's not a grey area. As one person put on here previously, see FTB status as being virgin, once you lose you can never regain it, no matter what you do.


    You have 1 house= not FTB

    Do you own or have any interest in a property in the UK or abroad.......

    You are not a first time buyer
