Two months into buying a house in South Acton. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the marketability of the property?

South Acton conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the marketability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
