I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Morden Park. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Morden Park and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Morden Park I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Morden Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Do I cancel my mortgage payments with Leeds Building Society as soon as a completion date for my home sale in Morden Park has been set?

You would be well advised to keep paying any mortgage payments to Leeds Building Society pending the mortgage being paid off out of the proceeds of sale as part of your Morden Park conveyancing.
