My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Driffield. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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).

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees.
