Two months into purchasing a house in Winchelsea. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our Santander valuation?

Winchelsea conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
