My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Yarmouth. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Yarmouth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
