How does this plan look for no-tube travel? Any advice appreciated!

Day 1

King’s Cross to Aldgate East:

Walk to Farringdon, then take the Elizabeth line to Whitechapel and walk across to Aldgate East

Aldgate East to Covent Garden:

Walk to Liverpool Street, take the Elizabeth line to Tottenham Court Road, then walk through to Covent Garden

Day 2

Aldgate East to Elstree & Borehamwood:

Walk from Aldgate East to Liverpool Street. Take the Elizabeth line from Liverpool Street to Farringdon, then Thameslink directly to Elstree & Borehamwood

Borehamwood to Covent Garden:

Return on Thameslink to Farringdon, get Elizabeth line from Farringdon to Tottenham Court Road, then walk to Covent Garden.

Day 3

Aldgate East to Churchill War Rooms:

Walk to Liverpool Street, take the Elizabeth line to Tottenham Court Road, then walk to the Churchill War Rooms.

Churchill War Rooms to dinner near London Bridge:

Walk back to Tottenham Court Road, take the Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street, then walk down to the London Bridge area for dinner.

Dinner to Walthamstow Central:

Walk back to Liverpool Street and take the Weaver Line Overground directly to Walthamstow Central.

I have LPA for my mother. She is now in full-time residential care. 

In the next few months, her home will be included in her financial assessment for care cost liability. This has been confirmed to us. 

This means the house will need to be sold at some point soon.

Before that happens, the house will be empty. 

I have some questions… 

1. Is there any reason why someone in the family couldn’t move into the house now full-time to look after it?  
2. And if they did, would all the related bills need to be switched into their name? Or could they remain in my mum’s name? 
3. Would it then be acceptable for them to buy the house when it is time for it to be sold? This is something they might consider if they are comfortable in their temporary stay.

 

They would buy the house at an honest value (ie – we would NOT be selling it at an artificially low price to reduce mum’s financial assets). 

Any insights would be appreciated. 

TIA.
