Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian property in Cullompton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Cullompton which have about fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

Sixweeks into buying a house in Cullompton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact the marketability of the house?
Cullompton conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancing practitioner.
