I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Caversham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

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 Caversham 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Caversham - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    If a Caversham lease has fewer than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term.
