Thinking about buying a little house (£60k ish) for my brother to live in.
He has mental health/addiction issues and council accommodation is unlikely. He has no prospect of ever renting off his own steam, never mind buying somewhere...
My thinking is that this way, he'd have a secure place to live and I'd have an asset if/when he is able to move on.
I wouldn't charge him rent etc but he would need to pay utilities- for this, I'm envisaging adding in an electricity prepayment meter so he can't get into arrears.
Legally/financially/morally etc, any downsides? Anyone done something similar?
