22 days into purchasing a property in Gillingham. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our home loan valuation?
Gillingham conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main factor 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.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your lawyer.
