Two months into purchasing a house in Needham Market. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on the salability of the property?
Needham Market conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancing practitioner.
