Main residence status

[SophieMCM]

Hello, I am looking for some help please. I am currently on two mortgages. One is my main residence where I live with my family. The other is where my sister lives and I help out a bit. I am looking to sell my main residence and get another one. Will that be considered a "second home" and therefore higher stamp duty apply ? Thank you in advance

Yes.

No. If you can prove it was your main residence. The other one is your second home

No selling main home and buying another main home doesn't attract the higher stamp duty

Thank you , this is really reassuring
