I own a freehold premises in Lostwithiel but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Lostwithiel and has limited impact for conveyancing in Lostwithiel 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 have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
