22 days into buying a residence in Roath Park. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on the salability of the house?
Roath Park conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a significant effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
