    If you legally own it yes.

    Just as an aside you do realise they've just shafted you by doing this because if you ever want to get a place of your own you'll no longer be entitled to use Help To Buy or the LISA to help towards your deposit and you'll be liable for Stamp Duty which you would have been exempt from with your first property.
