The difficulty is that "disposal" is selling a dwelling, and property 2 is no longer a dwelling.sheramber said:Could the following not apply to the OP, assuming he is within 18 months of disposal.

To determine if a purchase of a dwelling is a replacement for a main residence is a two stage test.
A buyer is replacing their only or main residence if:
- The buyer disposes of their only or main residence during the 18 months before the effective date of the transaction for the new dwelling, and
- The buyer intends to occupy the new dwelling as their only or main residence on the effective date of the transaction.
He has nothing to lose by pursuing that line.0
