We are in the middle of buying a property in Haydon Bridge. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our Natwest valuation?
Haydon Bridge conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
