22 days into purchasing a residence in Kingsland. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact the salability of the property?
Kingsland conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a significant effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your lawyer.
