If she's in a nursing home, what does she need the house for, whatever its price?
She might have wanted to hang on to it because the NHS doesn’t cover all of the costs associated with Alzheimers care. And/or maybe her kids/grandkids wanted her to leave the house to them. Maybe that’s what she wanted also.

The kids want the house, but the state to pay for her care. They couldn't be bothered to care for her. Before Social Security, caring families took in their parents in their later years. They did the caring. They got the estate which they deserved. Now with socialism, the elderly are a burden. Socialism amounts to breaking the bonds of love.
That's probably her only real asset. We don't know how much equity she has in it. And what happens to her when the money is gone?
She doesn’t need the house,obviously, but her heirs probably are upset that the money will be gone. They are not used to having to pay anything for health care in England, so when they do, it is a shock. Long term care insurance is non-existent.
