One month into purchasing a house in Pontarddulais. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the salability of the property?
Pontarddulais conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your lawyer.
