I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property.

You should read 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 Kirk Ella 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Kirk Ella. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
