Question #19

Q.

What is a peppercorn ground rent?

A.

This is a token or nominal rent, rarely collected by any freeholder. The name comes from leases where the rent is one peppercorn a year. Other kinds of token or nominal rents, such as £1, or a red rose each year, may also be referred to as peppercorn rents.
