18 days into purchasing a residence in Newington. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on the salability of the property?

Newington conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the remaining 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 saleability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a adverse impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
