I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Stonehouse. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Stonehouse and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
