I own a freehold premises in Tonypandy but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Tonypandy and has limited impact for conveyancing in Tonypandy 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Tonypandy I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tonypandy suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
