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 from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Talsarnau. The Talsarnau property was put into my name in October. I want to move.
