We are in the middle of buying a residence in Sunderland. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our Santander valuation?
Sunderland conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a significant effect 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.
