Who owns the house? You need to ask them.Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0

If a Council house, yes, although it would have to be in the Aunt's name as she is the tenant.
AFAIK there is no right-to-buy privately owned houses.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
a privately owned house. I just wonder if having been a tenant for so many years she might have priority to buy? she is on one of these old tenancy contracts i believe. we woudl consider helping her out. the house is really not up to scratch so needs major works to it. thanks in advance.seven-day-weekend wrote:If a Council house, yes, although it would have to be in the Aunt's name as she is the tenant.

No right or priority to buy however if some family member moves in with her - there's a right to inherit the tenancy devaluing the property so you may be able to split the difference by [STRIKE]blackmailing[/STRIKE] persuading the owner, if the owner is in fact an estate or alike rahter than an individual I doubt there would be any chance.0
