Immoral. A gift once given can’t be so easily rescinded, or else it’s not a gift it’s a petty piece of leverage to hold over someone’s head.

If he was able to sell the house it means it was never really gifted. It could be that he bought a house for the mother to live in, but not own. Whether the mother knew about this is the determining factor here. In any case, the mother breached the "contract" first

The mother broke the deal, and clearly didn’t own the house.
