One month into buying a residence in Basinghall. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this impact the salability of the property?

Basinghall conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
