My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Robin Hoods Bay. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease.
