I will keep this brief without drip feeding. DH bought his parents’ council house for them in Glasgow back in the 90s. His mother passed away ladt year and before she dued his brother had left his wife and moved back with his mum. His wife and teenager still live in the family home.

DH visited his brother this weekend and said he would raise subject of rent. DH doesn’t want to sell and is happy for brother to stay with a small rent.

He has just returned and I asked if he got a chance to discuss it all. He basically said it is none of my business and he will discuss it when he is ready in a few more months.

So, it is none of my business?

No, I agree with you, I didn't mean it that way, in him renting a flat. I mean to purchase a place, whether it be a flat or house.

Re read my plan, it, I forgot I said that about rent. But it is an odd idea I admit.

If he has a full time job and is paying no rent then assuming he's above minimum wage he should be able to save a fair bit. But not if he's not trying and is spending it on shit.

Is he paying for things like insurance and repairs?
