18 days into purchasing a house in Boldon. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the salability of the property?

Boldon conveyancing does not usually 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 peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the marketability too much.
