It is is a decade since I bought my house in Leyburn. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Leyburn relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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 Leyburn and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
