First time buyer?

[Town]

I built a house in 1988 and took out a joint mortgage with my wife. We are joint registered owners of the house. We have no other property but are planning on buying an investment propoery soon. Can either on of us claim first time buyers exemption.?

No.

Check Revenue website for information on who is a ftb.

I don't get it. Why do you think you might be able to claim FTB status if you're not FTB?

It sure beats me too.
Like - if the OP does qualify for FTB status, then just who doesn't ?

They're wouldn't be any FTB benefits in this case anyway - it's an investment property not an owner occupied one.
