Two months into purchasing a property in Fenstanton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the house?
Fenstanton conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
