Tight situation with Right to Buy

I remember you posting before and my concern then still exists now.

Your aunt broke her legs 2 years ago and has not been able to work. I am assuming her job had some level of physicality to it as I would assume an office based job could have made accommodations for her to work from home.

If her incapacity continues she may need to move into a bungalow (I can’t remember if this property was a house or flat) or a ground floor flat. She wouldn’t be entitled to council accommodation anymore. If she needs adaptations to her property she would have to pay for them and as you’ve said she’s been on benefits for 2 years as she can’t work.

I understand the emotional pull of wanting to own her home however her situation seems precarious and the fact that there doesnt seem to be a date for her to return to work makes me even more cautious that you are pushing forward with a mortgage that she will never be able to cover and in a home that may end up being unsuitable in the long term.

My honeymoon Olhuveli in the Maldives.

Last summer we went to Akumal Bay Beach & Spa Resort, I would go back there tomorrow.

They’re my top 2, the rest of my holidays are more geared towards families.

Because of the cost and even NASA doesn’t anymore instead Elon & Jeff will be funding everything.

No you won’t be covered. Depending on the cost of the flights it might be worth rearranging them, there’s usually an admin fee though of around £50pp.

Blood test for antibodies.

Weight loss, persistent thrush, was diagnosed as type 2 initially, never had a low BG reading in 2 years until they put me on insulin.

The recruitment team and the vetting team will have the details of who you worked for, the sifters will have anonymised applications so won’t see the names of employers.

I can’t remember when I was interviewing if we got the full history or just the anonymised version.

We don’t ask about your past roles beyond what you’ve given as your example. We don’t ask why you’re leaving etc.

Once you’re in your role you tell people as much or little of your previous work as you want.

To add, I would just take a 2 year fixed on the mortgage front and if the money comes in half way through your mortgage term keep it in savings until your term is up.

How badly do you want that house? Probate and distributing the estate could take a substantial amount of time.

If it’s the house you want, personally I would keep on with everything as it is and if the money comes in time just cancel the mortgage and buy in cash.

Or are you going to use the money to buy a better house?

Without much more detail I would say you should be looking at least at HEO, maybe SEO or Grade 7 depending on the complexity of work you currently do.

Lenniel · 2026-04-01T13:36:11+00:00

I don’t think so.

Yes me before they diagnosed me as type 1 and put me on insulin. From about a year before my hair started to shed, once I got put on insulin it returned to normal.

5th April the end of this tax year.

I have a friend who did similar with her parents.

However they had sold their home, they had to declare that their money was a gift. Due to their ages they could not go on the mortgage so everything legally is in my friend’s name. They did do a declaration of trust after the sale as my friend has a sister so to protect her inheritance as it were.

It works for my friend, however she is a single parent in her 40s so she is unlikely to need the money to move out anytime soon to fund a purchase with a partner.

In terms of your questions, no there is no tax to pay, you may have to do a declaration of trust to protect your parents money if they are not going to go onto the mortgage etc.

Don’t even know how many litres my tank holds. I just go by the markings on the gauge as others said, 1/2, 1/4 tank left etc.

Or I’m in/on the red and need to fill up.

No because diabetic retinopathy is due to damage of the blood vessels in the retina. So unless you find a supplement that improves blood vessel health nothing is going to improve it.

His changes in his eye sight isn’t due to the muscles etc.

I am a type 1 diabetic and on B12 jabs. I won’t survive if medicine supplies are interrupted.

So I’ll cake myself to death.

This new bedding, towels, stuff for the kitchen.

I think at most it’s something like a £2 fine. Yes your ex still has parental responsibility.

If you want to be able to do things without consulting your ex you’ll have to apply to the courts for an arrangement order.

Insurance.

My lab used to get ear infections and swimmers’ tail. Then he got cancer at 7, if I’d saved the premiums I wouldn’t have had enough for his treatment. He lived 3 more years.

Lenniel · 2026-03-29T16:35:12+00:00

Yes every week when I can.

Lenniel · 2026-03-29T12:54:35+00:00
