Would we have to declare my parents paying for building work on our house?ESA/UC

Hi there.

We're unclear on the rules here, and were wondering if there were any differences between income based ESA and UC.

If my parents were to pay for building work (external upkeep, replacing a damp bathroom) on our primary property, which we own, is that something that needs to be declared? They could pay contractors directly, rather than through us if that made things simpler.

I had thought that this sort of thing was classed as a 'gift' for ESA and did not need to be declared but cannot find much information on this now, especially with US (which we're going to be moved to).

Does anyone know what we should be looking at to get some greater clarity here? Thank you.
