Protection of first property after purchasing second property as sole dwelling in default

Darith

I was thinking of getting a second property but i would be a first time morgage holder. So the bank informed i would be entitled to have the second property as my personal residence hence a lower deposit. Therefore my current property would become a asset or investment property? Also in the unfortunate event that i defaulted on my second property which i chose to live in as my personal residence could the bank cease my first property to pay of any debt outstanding after ceasing my second property through default?

Down the line that will have CGT implications for your current home after it ceases being your primary residence.

You should discuss whether the bank can get a judgement against you and recover the debt using your current home, with the solicitor you intend to use to purchase the second property.
