I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking The Mortgage Works to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Tonyrefail and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers.
