    Penalties on owning a second house?

    As it was your PPR at all times, and has never been rented it out, there should be no tax penalties no longer when you sell it, as long as it remains empty for the complete period you are trying to sell it. There is also no CGT on PPR if it sells above the price you paid for it.
