Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in The Ridgeway. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in The Ridgeway - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

20 days into purchasing a house in The Ridgeway. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the salability of the house?

The Ridgeway conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
