It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

We are midway through buying a property in Malmesbury. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the marketability of the house?

Malmesbury conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a significant impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancing practitioner.
