Am I a first-time buyer?

The definition of a first-time buyer for the stamp duty exemption is quite strict. In order to qualify, you can never previously have owned a property or a share in one, either in the UK or abroad.

So if you have ever owned a share in a property, you're not a first-time buyer.
