I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Barking 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. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
