My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

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 Oughtibridge 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 lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Oughtibridge prior to appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a loan on a flying freehold home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you call us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
