Hello, hoping someone can help me with some advice
Me, my mother and father live in a house that is owned by 4 other relatives. We've lived in it for more than 30 years, and we had permission from the head of the family, my grandfather to live there. I don't think it was in writing, maybe verbal, but it was certainly implicit as whenever he came on holiday to visit us, he stayed in the house. He had his own room there and always slept in it. He was also one of the 4 owners
My grandfather has now passed away, and so have 2 others. The last relative has claimed full ownership of the house and wants to sell it
Do I and my parents have a right to stop the sale and continue living there?
If we had permanent permission from my grandfather to live there forever, does it still apply even though the 4th relative wants to sell?
We aren't tenants, we don't pay rent for staying there. We pay all the bills like council tax and utility
