Council rate is a charge on land, so the liability comes with the land upon transfer of ownership. Legally you are now responsible for the debt as owner of this land. However, given the amount is minimal, you can either, as suggested by your solicitor ask the previous owner to pay as a gesture of their their goodwill, or pay it off yourself or explain the situation to Council and ask for their forgiveness over the interest in arrears. |
