We are midway through buying a house in West Brompton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our Santander valuation?
West Brompton conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
