18 days into buying a house in North Newbald. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the salability of the property?

North Newbald conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability too much.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, 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 property lawyer.
