We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Epworth. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact our lender’s valuation?

Epworth conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
