Do you have a copy of the lease ? If not the solicitor who conveyanced for you should have - if not ask your neighbours (as possibly same source) - or ask the bank who they paid your money to !
Back stop position - UK Land Registry

so the land registry says my house is freehold. That means I own everything, right? The land and the house.0

It means there is no lease, therefore no ground rent would be my understanding - ask the bank where they sent it !
There are some third party costs that can be levied on freehold but I'm pretty sure ground rent can't.
Ask the bank who they gave your money to !Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0
