Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a compulsory element of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Alfriston. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Alfriston. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read 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 Alfriston and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
