Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Sutton on Trent. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
