I have a terraced Georgian house in Fulwell. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?

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 Fulwell and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
