My parents both died in 2011 intestate.The family home will be divided between myself and another sibling.Due to complications and a loan for property refurbishment with the Co.Council some of which was still outstanding at the time of my parents death (and is now being paid by me), the Council have refused to allow us buy the ground rent.The house has been vacant for six years and can't be sold until the loan is cleared.I have been unable to take out probate.Revenue are now demanding property tax.Am I liable? The house is still in my parents name
 
Well the property owner is liable. But one can disclaim an inheritence. If you take out probate, in order to sell you have to pay the property tax.

It's not clear why you can't take out probate?
