In October 2021 Gordon assigned his fee simple interest in his townhouse at 82 Chandler Avenue McCleod to his long-time housekeeper Agnes Agnew for life, and then to Daisy provided that she successfully completes her law degree. Daisy has been studying law part time for some years, juggling her time between study, part time work and parenting. She aims to complete her degree by the end of 2024.

Gordon has informed Daisy that Agnes (who was a severe diabetic) has just died. Unbeknown to him, Agnes had sold her interest in 82 Chandler Avenue to Allannah Appleby for $500,000. Apparently, Agnes arranged for an inspection for Allannah while he was out. Allannah has informed Gordon that she plans to move into the property forthwith, and remain there for the rest of her life. Gordon is most upset, as his understanding with Agnes was that she would move in after his death, and that Daisy would get the property after Agnes passed away.
