Me and my brother own a terraced Georgian property in Portsmouth. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking National Westminster Bank to clarify?
You should assess 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 Portsmouth and other areas of 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 question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Portsmouth ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not give a loan on this type of premises.

Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Portsmouth.
