Sixweeks into buying a residence in Saxilby. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the marketability of the property?
Saxilby conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor 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 saleability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
