Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian house in Fowey. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Fowey - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
