Definition of first time buyer
A first time buyer is defined as :
” a person who has never previously, either on their own or with another, purchased a property (house, apartment, site) in Ireland or abroad”.
Please note if there is a joint application, both parties must be first time buyers.
Refund
The bank will refund the 1% into the borrowers mortgage paying account after drawdown by direct debit.

Clawback
If the mortgage is paid back within 5 years, or remortgaged with another bank, Bank of Ireland have reserved the right to seek a refund.
