My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Sherborne. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?

You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
