20 days into purchasing a house in Hambleton. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our Halifax valuation?

Hambleton conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration 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 impact the marketability too much.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
