Hi,
I own an apartment which is my PPR and has been since I purchased it 2 years ago. Also I was a FTB at the time of purchase. I will be getting married shortly and will be living in my future wife's house and this will be my PPR from here on in.

I intend to rent out my own apartment after this. I know there will be a SD clawback as I will not have been living in the apartment for 5 years. However I'm unsure about whether it would be the full SD amount or would the fact that I lived there for 2 years be taken into acccount, i.e. 2/5 of that amount. Also is the SD charged at the investor rate?

Any info much appreciated.
 
SD will be charged at the investors rate that applied when you purchased the property. The fact that you lived in it for 2 years does not matter. You could have lived in it for 4 years and 11 months but clawback would still be applied.

By the way, it is payable within one month of the property being let.
 
Thanks asdfg,
Where would I be able to find investor SD rates that would have applied 2 years ago. The apartment cost €235k.
I believe the SD rate applicable if purchsasing a property of this value today would be 4%. Has the investor rate changed in the last 2 years?
