Hi guys, my wife and i bought a house in sep 2004 for €200k ,at the time we paid stamp duty of €6k (3%) even though both of us never owned a house before .we were told at the time that because the house was not a new house (we were the 2nd owners) we didnt count as first time buyers....i have mentioned this to a few people lately and they are sure that there must have been some mistake.any views on this?
