Hello everyone!
First time post.
My wife and myself are planning on taking advantage of the Stamp Duty holiday, however I'm concerned if we would be considered as first time buyers.
My wife doesn't own any properties, so she is fine.
I on the other hand own an overseas property. The property belonged to my grandmother. I bought her share a long time ago, with her legally owing it until she passed away (usufruct). After she passed away, I bought my aunt's share and now own 100% of the property. When I bought my aunt's share (2 years ago), the whole property was valued at €25k. The property is visited by my parents, nobody lives there, I haven't lived there at all. It wasn't rented ever, either.
Apart from that a year ago my parents flat got transferred to me, but they maintain the usufruct until both of them pass away. I also received some land in the same way (aunt holds the usufruct until she passes away) - but I believe this doesn't count, as it's not a dwelling.
Having laid out the above, can anyone tell me if I'd be exempt of paying the 3% Stamp Duty? I'm currently translating all documents, but would like to know what to expect.
