Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Atherton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Atherton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Atherton ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a loan on this type of house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Atherton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I'm remortgaging my current home to a BTL loan with Virgin Money and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Atherton. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?

On the basis that they are your solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make clear your expectations and requirements.
