My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Earls Court. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?
You should review 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 Earls Court 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 check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
