Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian property in Becontree. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read 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 Becontree and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Becontree prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may not grant a mortgage on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Becontree. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
