I own a freehold property in Bracknell yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bracknell and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bracknell but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Bracknell. The Bracknell property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
