Buying a rental property whilst claiming contribution based ESA was created by mark88
Hi,
My partner receives contribution based ESA. I work full time and also support her. Recently my partner has been left some inheritance to put towards buying a property.
Unfortunately due to her circumstances health wise and the area we live, (property expensive) we have struggled to find a property to buy. We currently live in a rented property I have rented approx 20 years.
She is looking to buy a flat in a property in another town purely for investment purposes. The property will be managed by a letting agent and rent money will go towards agent costs, fees and maintenance. Any money from this will go into an account set up for the property.
Please can anyone advise where she will stand with the contribution based ESA?
Thank you for your time reading and any advice given.

Hi mark88
Your question is outside the remit of the forum but I will try and answer it.
If your partner is only receiving Contribution Based ESA then there are no capital limits and the inheritance will not affect their ESA.
We would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; you can find your local Welfare Rights Organisation to help you with advice by clicking on the link below and putting in your post code, it will then come up with a MAP with a list of agencies. advicelocal.uk
