Modern ground rent
Modern ground rent is a type of ground rent that leaseholders of houses pay per year on the extended portion of their lease. The amount is calculated using a formula set in legislation and it can sometimes be higher than the ground rent on the original lease. See also ground rent and Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022.
