Myself & my partner have just bought a house together,
this will be my first time buying a house, so should be classed
as first time buyer, but my partner owned a house before,
he is divorced & signed the house over to his x wife,
but we haev been told that we will have to pay stamp duty
because his x wife did not stay in the house he signed over to her for,
x amount of months, we now have to pay €15,000 in stamp duty..
Has anyone been in this situation?
