    Whilst I don't know sccottish law I find it hard to believe there is a law against someone having two mortgages !
    What's more to the point is, will a lender deem you earn sufficient to repay it. The fact your salary wasn't taken into account will be neither here nor there, you are still liable to pay it.

    If you can meet affordability for both mortgages then you can have both mortgages. However, an additional 3% LBTT will be due on the purchase of the new property.
