    sorry for the confusion.
    I rent a house from a LL, I have a property BTL elsewhere.
    no partner/no kids.
    i always thought for UC they would deduct 80k minus 10%  which would mean no UC. But thats a 2nd property. 
    I only own 1 property which I dont live in. 
    Are UC aware that you own 50% of a property that you don't live in? If not then you must report the changes and tell them. Your UC maybe suspended while they look into and make a decision. Any overpayment will need to be repaid back. 
    OP says no benefits received.
