Personal injury and mortgages?

My friend was run over (99% drivers fault), and needs to move house because the house is too small for a wheelchair.


She has been asked to look for a much bigger house by her solicitor..


How do they calculate the value of the new house that she can buy?


She has a house valued at 280,000 and 250,000 remaining on her mortgage.Personal injury and mortgages?
How does WHO calculate the value of the house?





This is a fairly common issue and should rally be undertaken as part of a wider enquiry by a care expert.


If your friend needs to move house because of an accident, then the costs of moving will be part of the claim.


The court will then consider what type of house is required, whether it needs modications and so on.


The value of the claim is then assessed using what is known as a Roberts %26amp; Johnstone calculation.


Your friend is therfore wasting her time in this unfocussed and fruitless search and I suspect her solictor is wasting her time too.


Are you sure she's got someone who knows what they are doing?
