Ok thanks for all your help. I do have a better idea. APologies if sounds stupid on some of the bits but never have been involved in house buying before.
In regards to being a carer. My other half used to care for him before when he had a stroke a few years back however now made a full recovery. So we both a fully aware of implications of living with an elderly man. and he needs the company. He doesnt get many visiters other than us more recently0 -
Just bear in mind that it is not his property to "gift".0

Thank you all for your response. By looking at this it seems possible. As his grandad doesnt have a wife or civil partner at the moment anyway.
What my mum suggested that his grandad applies to buy the house as he would get a huge discount as living he has been living in it for such a long time and me and my partner pay the mortgage and then put house to us in his will.
Sounds like I want to do the old man out of a house which I dont at all, I love the dear man however need to start looking at the future as not getting younger.
What would happen if grandad needed to go into care at some point in the future, the house would be in his name so could be used to fund the care home feesBe Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0 -

If he's a grandfather presumably he's had a wife or partner at some point in the past to have his children with, so the tenancy would have had a succession at some point if he's a widower It doesn't make any difference whether he has wife or partner this week or not.
"Section 87 provides that there can only be ONE statutory succession to a surviving spouse (this includes civil partners) or a member of the deceased tenant’s family".
If he's got enough dosh to buy the property outright for cash, and he never needs to receive residential care then all well and good. Otherwise you'll have to plan for your eviction upon his death.0
