It is rare for properties in Pangbourne and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pangbourne 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Pangbourne I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease.
