We are in the middle of buying a property in Brondesbury. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact the salability of the property?
Brondesbury conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration 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 saleability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your property lawyer.
