Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Haddenham. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Haddenham and other locations in 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
