My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Godalming. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking HSBC Bank to clarify?

Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Godalming conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
