Legal advice needed re property and family rights

Hi all I really need some advice. A relative of mine wanted to build a house on some family land but owing to planning rules they built the new home as an annex to an existing house. Life has moved on and the owner of the original house has decided they want to have the annex for themselves, they are saying my relative has no legal rights although they paid the building costs and materials as well as a peppercorn rent for the land usage. Can they really throw my relative out with no recompense? They built it and it was their family home for 20 years with children until the other relative developed some mental health issues. Can anyone advise what rights they have please. They cant afford to start again with nothing. thank you

They really need to see a solicitor, taking all the relevant documentation with them.
