PC housing costs new mortgage
Mon 31-Mar-08 09:48 AM |
Hi i have an elderly client, on PC and High Rate DLA, both comps, lives in house with alot of land. Son is on deeds, he pays half the mortgage and client gets housing costs met by PC for her half.
She intends to sell the property and buy another with small garden, it is likely she will take out a new fresh mortgage in her sole name, will this be covered under Housing Costs rules? There is probably not enough equity in her half of property for client to buy outright.
