I purchased a freehold house in Pensysarn but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Pensysarn and has limited impact for conveyancing in Pensysarn 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.
