   Hi there, my parents in law are wanting to sell their house but there
   is a charge on the property from years ago although we believe no money
   is actually owed. They originally rented the property and when the
   owner died his son in law was made executor of the estate and it is in
   this persons name that the charge is (dated from 1991). He put the
   house up for auction and my in laws bought it. I spoke to a solicitor
   earlier who said that anyone buying the house with a mortgage wouldn't
   be able to get a mortgage due to this charge but if that's the case
   then surely my in laws wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage
   either? My actual question is how do they go about getting this charge
   removed as I thought it would be something their solicitor for selling

   If he's on the list as the proprietor (I assume that means the owner of
   the house at the point of sale to my in laws) though and the deeds show
   that my in laws now own the house shouldn't he have been removed at the
   time?

   It's on the charges register but once my in laws bought the house then
   he wouldn't be owed anything.
