Hope someone can help me with this. We bought an investment property last summer which is in a designated rural development area. Had this property been our PPR, we would have been exempt from stamp duty. However, as it is our second home, we had to pay.
We are now planning to sell/rent our PPR here in Dublin and move into the second house, which will make that our PPR. Someone told us, that if the second house becomes our PPR within 12 months of purchase, we are able to reclaim our stamp duty on it. Is this true? Can't find any info on this, only info on stamp duty claw back by the government where it's the other way around. Any help appreciate.
