20 days into buying a residence in Linslade. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on the salability of the property?
Linslade conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your solicitor.
