Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in Aylestone. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?

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 Aylestone 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Aylestone is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aylestone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
