I have a renovated Georgian house in Penge. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read 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 Penge 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 lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

You can instruct a conveyancing practitioner now and ask them to generate a file for you. This will trigger: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to send out the draft agreement. However, do not instruct your conveyancer to start searches until you have your valuation report from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
