My wife and I deal with the affairs of a family member who is severely disabled amonst other things, which I shall keep private. The family as a whole has been discussing buying her home recently and I am more than happy to pay for it in full, but really don't know where to start. She's been a tenant there for 5 years and I spoke with the local council who said she would not get a great discount as the rules had changed in 2002, Can you tell me everything you feel is relevant as I'm a little confused by the whole thing and where my family and I stand. If the average price of a home in her area was £35,000 (I checked and there had been no sales for a LONG time) how much of a discount would she be entitled to for the 5 years she's been there?
Thank you so much for your help and your time,
Jason.
