Instabilities resulting in Bose-Einstein condensation and/or modulation of "displacements" in a system of quantum particles described by a two-state Bose-Hubbard model (with an
allowance for the interaction between particle displacements on different lattice sites) are investigated. A possibility of modulation, which doubles the lattice constant, as well
as the uniform displacement of particles from equilibrium positions are studied. Conditions for realization of the mentioned instabilities and phase transitions into the SF phase
and into the "ordered" phase with frozen displacements are analyzed. The behaviour of order parameters is investigated and phase diagrams of the system are calculated both
analytically (ground state) and numerically (at non-zero temperatures). It is revealed that the SF phase can appear as an intermediate one between the normal and "ordered" phases,
while a supersolid phase is thermodynamically unstable and does not appear. The relation of the obtained results to the lattices with the double-well local potentials is discussed.
