We are in the middle of purchasing a property in Osidge. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact our Natwest valuation?
Osidge conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
