I purchased a freehold residence in East Bedfont yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in East Bedfont and has limited impact for conveyancing in East Bedfont 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 hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
