Old family home need advice

Hello all

My parents old home is sitting idle

Can't rent it out just yet as I have to raise about 5k to do some work in it

In the winter it's gets very cold and the mould has been bad inside

It cost me quite a lot for a year to try to have the heat on at a low rate on a regular basis

I am getting a stove put in as I have some sticks to use up

What else can I do to keep it in good condition ?

As you can tell I have no clue and very little money

I have a few weeks off in August and will try to stop paper off and do some clearing out

So much to do
Do not want to sell it

Yes

I had this exact thought earlier

And for around 12-18 months I will slowly do it up

If you do this will your family members help? Either financially or practically?
