Local council JACKPOT!
WOW! That's great............no guesses which option I would choose if I were in your lucky position.
My parents bought their council home several years ago when Dad retired,but have never had enough money to do it up. Then they got a letter telling them that,as pensioners,they were entitled to a grant to replace all the windows and doors. "Surely not" we all thought,but Dad enquired at the council place and was told that even if it was now no longer a council house,as pensioners,they were still entitled to help. So they applied and a chappie came up and assessed what needed doing.
Imagine my Dad's delight when,several weeks later,they got a visit from the same chappie who asked them when they could start the work? They got a brand new bathroom suite, all new windows and doors and the guttering replaced!!! Amazing. Oh and the old lavatory which had a pull chain,was deemed so out of date that they replaced that too with a posh,new one with a push button flush. My Mum was over the moon!!!
