Claw back of Stamp duty

Hi,
I have a question about selling my house (Principal Private Residence). Closed nearly three years ago. Availed of exempt stamp duty (New house and FTB relief) Moving house potentially and was wondering would there be claw back on stamp duty as house is being sold within 5 years. Mortgage broker doesn't know and neither do I if there is claw back. Reading the legislation it's quite vague but don't know and was hoping for some clarification if possible.

Thanks,

Jesse

If you sell your ppr and buy another ppr then you're not liable for SD on the original house. What isn't clear here is whether you bought another house and are living in it now but afaik you do not have to buy another ppr to avoid having to pay the clawback. So I think you're OK. Check on oasis under clawback. Its states

If the house is sold within five years there is no clawback.

Thanks Madra,

Helps out a fair bit.

No clawback if you sell and not necessary for you to be buying a new PPR.
