Question about stamp duty

looking at the SD calculators online there is a difference in the amount of money that you have to pay depending on whether you are a first time buyer or not.
My question: DH and I have previously bought our homes with the mortgage in his name only, as he was the higher earner at that time.
We are now looking to sell and buy another property. This time I am higher earner so mortgage will be in my name (but deposit will come from sale of current property which is in his name only)
Can I benefit from this First time buyer discount in this situation?

Only if you aren't married and your DP is happy to not go on the deeds of the new house. f you are married then you don't get the FTB benefit.
