Ground Rents, Rent Charges and Chief Rents

All three of these terms refer to regular payments made by a holder of a leasehold property to a freeholder or a superior leaseholder, as required under a lease of more than fifteen years. This is usually a small amount due annually to the freeholder concerned.

However, this information may be a challenge to obtain, for example where the freehold estate belongs to several, or more investors. But this should not deter you from completing your search. Because failing to pay ground rent could result in a leaseholder forfeiting the lease.
