My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Wedmore. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barclays Direct to clarify?
You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wedmore 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 mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wedmore is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Wedmore are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wedmore you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wedmore may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We own a leasehold flat in Wedmore. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have read on numerous advice forums that I should not let the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Wedmore domestic long term leases are for a set term - often just under one hundred years when they started. However many flats in Wedmore were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than 80 years remaining. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is less than 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
