Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Bilborough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bilborough 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
