I have a terraced Georgian house in Common Edge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review 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).

How does conveyancing in Common Edge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Common Edge approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Common Edge typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Common Edge or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
