My wife and I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Warfield. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Warfield and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
