My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Cowfold. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?

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).
