14 years ago she was the only one living at home so her and mum took out a mortgage to buy our council house, they paid £8000 for it. My sister then met and married a man the same year she moved miles away from home and mum lived by herself, never once did she pay the mortgage or do any work to the house for mum. A couple of yrs ago mum got very sick, she couldn't look after herself so between me and my 4 sisters we looked after her,taking it in turns to sleep over. Mum died a couple of months ago and my sister gets the house, now valued at approx £280,000. Mum had spoke to her privately when she first got sick and asked her, when the house is sold would she make sure the rest of the family get some of her share, nothing was put in writing. The house is empty she said she cant bear to sell it. What the hell is she playing at nobody would leave a £280,000 house sitting empty for sentimental reasons. What do you think?
