Does Selling home affect my benefits.

Hi,
It is with the greatest regret that my wife and I have to sell our home after 37 years as we are finding it difficult to manage with me at 76 and my wife at 68, as its too large for us to cope with now. I receive DLA, AA paid at the lower rate, pension credit guarantee credit, council tax support and my wife gets PIP Daily Living and Mobility at standard rate, we also claim our state pensions. Also, I believe we both get the under lying carers allowance payment.
The property I hope to buy does needs some attention i.e turn the ensuite into a wet room, decorating, carpets, wardrobes (as our wardrobes are fitted) which I am hoping to do with the money from the sale of my property. I do not expect much will be left if any, after I pay for the improvements listed above, also conveyancing fees, estate agent fees, possibly stamp duty, and moving fees. Will our benefits stop once the sale goes through as we will not be able to afford to get the work carried out as we have no savings?

One thing worth knowing is if you have a wet room specially put in to cater for your/your wife's disability, you may possibly be able to claim a council tax reduction by one level, eg D to C. Keep evidence of how it was and how it ends up, photos I took were all our council needed. [Though that was during Covid, so perhaps builder/plumber receipts would be useful too].
Hoping you are able to make your move, Denby
