Poor mother of 94 being put through this stress due to greedy family members looking to profit from the RTB.

If she does not pay it, the likely outcome is that the freeholder will obtain a charge against the property, to be satisfied on sale.

My first thought was to get the Council to put a charge on the property.

I would imagine they would be prepared to do so without too much ado - as she is 94. Putting it bluntly - they will anticipate getting their money back very soon in view of her age. Sorry to phrase it like that - but, looking at it dispassionately, that is the gist of how they are likely to feel about this (ie they are most unlikely to have to wait that long for it).

Unfortunately your brother is not going to like what he is going to hear, you can't have your cake and eat it
