Two months into buying a property in Wolston. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our mortgage valuation?
Wolston conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a significant effect on the value, and most likely 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.
