I am thinking of buying a 2 bedroom bungalow for Dad to live in.

Some bungalows are being built near to us and both my husband and myself are recently retired.
Mum and Dad lived in council housing.
We are thinking of buying a bungalow and let Dad occupy it for the rest of his days and we will sell our house and move into it when he passes away.
We are going to have the ownership of the bungalow registered in my husband's and my name.
My main concerns are:
If Dad has to go into a nursing home could the council force us to use any of the money invested in the bungalow for his care fees.
If he did get a lady friend and got married could she get any rights to the property.
If it was a lady of a similar age to Dad we may be prepared to let her stay in it for the rest of her life if Dad passes away before her but we do not want her to then get another husband and him getting a right to stay in the bungalow.

No the LA could not force you to use your money to support your Father in a retirement home. You could charge your Father rent if you are not to live there and providing he satisfies the other conditions he may be able to obtain housing benefit, on which you may have to pay tax.
If your Father were to meet a person who may also live in the bungalow there could be complications if he supports this person whether married or not. If you have a shorthold secure tenancy on which you name your Father and the other person, if that should occur, as tenants you will be able to remove them from the property when the fixed period (usually 6 months) has expired and you and your husband wish to move in.
It would be up to your husband and yourself as landlords when and if you decided to take this action.
