Hello everyone,

I have a question that I have tried to find the answer to but can’t seem to get a definitive conclusion.

Here’s the timeline:

June 2016 – get divorced

Jan 2017- get married to a penniless UK artist with no income of his own

Mar 2017 – finally sell property owned by myself and first husband


As far as I can make out, I can’t regain my First Time Buyer status post-divorce. If anyone knows different, do tell!

If I wish to buy another home, can my husband be considered as a first time buyer? Or does the fact that he is essentially a dependant of mine mean only my history can be considered under the lending rules?

Thanks,
Serenn.
 
If you have a look around here Serenn, this question has come up a few times recently. In short you can only have the FTB status once and if you're buying with someone else, if either party is not a FTB then it won't be considered a first time buyer situation.
