We are midway through purchasing a residence in Littleborough. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact our HSBC valuation?
Littleborough conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your lawyer.
