North Sheen conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a significant effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
