A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Aldersgate.

I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Aldersgate. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. 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). It is not completely unheard of in Aldersgate and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
