I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
My partner is divorced in the divorce he signed the family home over to his ex wife he made no profit at all, she up & sold the house within a month,
on the other hand I am a FTB, we bought a house last year & had to pay nearly €20,000 in Stamp duty.. I did write to my local TD & he said that there was a flaw in the system & that they were going to change it sometime this year but that we would not be able to get any money back, but i have since heard that we might be able to claim back some of the Stamp Duty i also heard that it was a rule that Revenue don't publizise, as they would have to give back money. Does anyone know anything about this.. is it wishfull thinking???
