Hi there, it's been a couple of weeks now and still no answer to my question. I also called HMRC, and the person I spoke to didn't know the answer but said I could try sending a physical letter by post to a technical team. I thought maybe that technical team might be able to advise through this forum. I am not sure where to go next. Is there somewhere else that HMRC can point me to for advice on tax?

This does not answer my question. I am not asking HMRC for financial advice. I am finding it very frustrating that HMRC seems to be unable to clarify its own tax rules either on this forum or by phone. My question is: in the situation described above, would HMRC see me as a first time buyer for tax purposes? Yes or No?

I live in London and am considering buying a plot of land in Scotland. It has a residential dwelling on it but I would not be buying the dwelling, only the land. I am struggling to find out whether or not this would disqualify me from First Time Buyer status in future (eg for taxes & Help to Buy ISA).
