We are midway through buying a house in Totnes. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our HSBC valuation?
Totnes conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
