I own a freehold residence in Hillsborough but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

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 fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Hillsborough I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hillsborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
