I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Winscombe but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Winscombe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Winscombe 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 creation of new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
