My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Grange Over Sands. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Mortgage Works. 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 with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Grange Over Sands 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 lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Grange Over Sands. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
