Grant for Renovations

redlough

Just wondering if anyone might have some information, we have an elderly parent who has Alzheimer's, she is going downhill slowly and we want to move her into our house. At the moment we have a large sunroom and the plan is to convert that room and another into a "granny flat", so bedroom/sitting room/bathroom.

This was not planned and struggling to first off get a builder but for the money to convert. I was told yesterday that in this situation some grants are available? I have googled around but maybe I am reading wrong but it seems like they are available to renovate her house to allow her to stay in it, this is impossible as you can imagine

Just wondering if anyone knows if a grant is available? or am I chasing a pipedream

Housing adaptation grant.

Depening on salary you could get up to 30k.

There are also mobility grants for less substantial works.

She will need to be living with you i think.
