Looking at buying a new house with the mrs. Its on at £150,000.
The 1% level is £125-£250,000 so i know i'm due to pay it. However, if you are a 1st time buyer there is no duty upto £250,000.
While i am not a 1st time buyer, my wife has never had a property in her name so could be classed as a 1st timer. The new mortgage will be in both names so will we class as 1st time buyers or not?
Any help please...
