 Speaking from experience, if you own a home you won't get any benefits. They count property as savings and regular income. You could stay on the housing list but you would be at the very bottom and considering even people nearer the top of the list have trouble getting a place, you wouldn't be offered anything.

If affording a solicitor is out of the question (as it is for many people-damn fees so expensive!) then look into solicitors in your area who offer free advice mornings or even go the the CAB - Citizens Advice Bureau.
There are pros and cons as having a house in your name may prevent ou being on the housing list, but I do not think it impacts jobseekers allowance. Please seek professional advice as you do not want to make a decision based on wrong info. Best of luck.

1 - if you want to house, you need to earn your own money to pay for it. Just the way it is.
2 - the reason many nations are going bankrupt is by many people doing the same exact thing you are proposing. So what you're saying is everyone else needs to pay for your parents elderly care because you want a house for free.
Last, you show your age as 30-35 and from the UK, yet I had trouble reading the "English" you wrote above. If you ever submit a resume or cover letter written like that, it will be in the wastebasket after the first sentence. Perhaps that is why you are having such a hard time finding a job.
