I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Purley yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Purley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Purley 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 creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
