We are in the middle of buying a house in St Brides Major. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our lender’s valuation?
St Brides Major conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining 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.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a adverse effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancing practitioner.
