You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Merriott. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Merriott and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
