I believe so and I’d assume whatever third party you use to make the transaction would inform the tax authorities locally and they would in turn inform hmrc through an international agreement.
I’d imagine your bank would inform too when you transfer a large sum abroad to make the purchase.
Maybe. A quick duck duck will tell you a more solid answer.
I suspect the Tl;dr is to not be a dick, pay your taxes or live in fear.
Does 2nd home tax apply to overseas property? How would hmrc get wind of it? Asking for a friend ..
