Threeweeks into buying a residence in Ferndale. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact our HSBC valuation?

Ferndale conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main 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’s unlikely to affect the saleability significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a significant impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
