There are plenty of short leases in Dulverton. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

18 days into buying a house in Dulverton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on the salability of the property?
Dulverton conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
