Dad had a heart op in november. He's OK now but still not 100%. Both of them will be 79 this year. Mum has health problems too. We live 14miles away. Not far but far enough not to be always there when they need us. We want them to live with us but we have a 3-bed terrace and no space. And we know they will need there own space without children making noise all the time. Soooo.... when my friend was here we googled houses with an annexe and found a few that were perfect. 4 or 5 beds with a 2 or 3 bed annexe. Affordable if mum and dad sold their place and put approx half their equity in.
I don't know how they would take the idea. I don't know if they would love it, or resent the mere idea. But it makes sense.
So how do I put it to them? If at all.

How do I persuade me elderly parents that they want to sell up and buy a property with an annexe with us?
