Hello
Mother, 88, with lots of chronic health issues ( heart failure, AF diabetes, etc as well as Alzheimer's ) is now in a care home.
This has been coming for some time. Was propped up at home with carer visits but no longer sustainable.
She's self funding. I have EPA and have ensured there's plenty of ready cash so no urgent need to sell the house.
My dilemma is: do I sell the house for her now and invest the proceeds (wibble) or wait perhaps till next Spring when Brexit things may be clearer? Or get tenants in?
It's in a desirable area and well maintained and should sell reasonably quickly. I've had it valued by three agents and also asked advice re letting to at least provide her some extra income.
They all recommend if letting, I replace the bathroom ( it is very bad) and maybe knock down wall between bathroom and separate loo to make it rentable. But that will cost several thousand K.
Solicitors have suggested I may need permission to do this from Court of Protection, and even to let it I should check with them.
My instinct is to leave it till next year, turn off water, arrange vacancy insurance and check every week when I visit.
But by then the economy and the housing market could have gone to hell in a handcart. 
What would you do?
Thanks in advance
