    Are you planning to give it to her, or let her stay there rent free or rent it to her at normal market rent? 

    Council tax rules should be the same, espeially if in same council area (some councils have slightly different rules..)

    Check out Hazeltree housing limited !
    You might be able to buy a property and allow them to manage it for you with your daughter as the tenant.
