I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Blackfriars. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Blackfriars and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Blackfriars in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on such a home.
