My father recently transferred a house into my name which I currently live in, I was thinking of buying a house in my area and let a family member live in it rent free, Am i still considered a first time buyer?

who has not on any previous occasion, either individually or jointly, purchased or built on his/her own behalf a house (in Ireland or abroad) and
where the property purchased is occupied by the purchaser, or a person on his behalf, as his/her only or principal place of residence and
where no rent, other than rent under the rent-a-room-scheme, is derived from the property for five years after the date of the current purchase.
