Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Kennington. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Virgin Money. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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 Kennington 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 lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kennington ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on this type of premises.

My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Kennington. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would need to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added costs and delays. So that should be your starting point.
