I own a freehold house in Caldicot but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Caldicot and has limited impact for conveyancing in Caldicot 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 date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Caldicot is on the conveyancing panel.
