One month into purchasing a property in Hayle. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on our lender’s valuation?
Hayle conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
