My wife and I own a terraced Georgian property in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read 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 Coombe Warren and other locations in 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 enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Coombe Warren I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease.
