How strict on timescales are LAs regarding funding where a property is in the throes of being sold? Can they insist on taking the house value into account from October when it's not yet sold?
Dad left his home (owned outright) to move near me for care reasons in January. The LA have said the value of his home wouldn't be taken into account until October this year, which is creeping up fast. We needed to spend quite a bit of time doing the house up as it was quite literally a building site in some parts but have got a buyer (my mum). Trouble is, the housing market is very slow in Wales and my mum is struggling to get her own buyer for her present house.
Being self-funded will be both a blessing and a curse - I could really do without the extra work right now, but it would be worth it to be able to move to an agency I can trust. I'd love to have the time and energy to employ carers directly but I can't see that's ever going to happen!
