I purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Ireleth and Askam. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Mortgage Works. 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 under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Ireleth and Askam 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 buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I am purchasing my first flat in Ireleth and Askam with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
