Two months into buying a residence in Hanslope. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the marketability of the property?
Hanslope conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal 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, Sixty years it will have a material effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
