Any deposit?

Also, with regard to selling your existing place - using a single rental property to make up for a lack of pension provision is exceedingly poor planning. A property is never a good substitute for a well-structured pension plan.

Reality check required.
You are dreaming into a potential nightmare......
Sit down and look thoroughly at your finances. Your income and outgoings. Your assets and liabilities. Take action now.

Are you declaring the profit on the rental property to the tax authorities?0
