A mother has converted the double garage of her house into living accommodation, which is used by her daughter. The two of them own the whole property jointly
After Dad died Mum converted the detached double garage into a separate dwelling.
Although there is a clear division of the whole plot between the two buildings planning consent was given on the basis that this was an extension not a separate house and council tax is paid as though the property was one.
Daughter who previously lived elsewhere moved into the new abode and Mum executed a deed of trust to hold the whole lot as tenants in common. Each of the two parts of the property has an area of just over half a hectare.
Now ten years later Mum is going into a care home and the plan is to sell the original house alone. Planning permission has now been granted to build another house in Mum’s garden so the price has gone up a lot.
