Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian house in Newbury Park. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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 Newbury 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying a new build house in Newbury Park with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.
