Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Georgian property in Cobham. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cobham and other areas of 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 enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
