Fiveweeks into purchasing a house in Great Barford. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our lender’s valuation?

Great Barford conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor 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 value too much.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
