We are midway through buying a house in Glastonbury. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the marketability of the property?

Glastonbury conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key 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 extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a significant impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancing practitioner.
