My wife and I own a renovated Georgian house in Llanbedr. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess 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).

You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
