We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Wellingborough. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect our lender’s valuation?

Wellingborough conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
