PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi all, thanks for the comments, we have got some good legal advice and yes, we have done nothing illegal and would never do this, always having the best interest for the elderly relative. This issue is really tough and we are trying to fulfil the wishes of an elderly person the best we can. thanks again0

That wouldn't be the case for your Universal Credit claim. Owning a property that you don't live in will be classed as capital and you need to report this. Not reporting it is benefit fraud and DWP will catch up with you at some point.
