I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Higher Kinnerton yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Higher Kinnerton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Higher Kinnerton 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Higher Kinnerton. The Higher Kinnerton property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement principally exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
