I purchased a freehold premises in Fairford but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Fairford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Fairford 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 date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Fairford. The Fairford property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
