I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Corfe Mullen but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Corfe Mullen and has limited impact for conveyancing in Corfe Mullen 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 generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Corfe Mullen in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on such a property.
