I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Frogmore. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read 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 Frogmore 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 buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Frogmore. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Frogmore - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
