I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in South Croydon. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 South Croydon and other areas of 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 position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in South Croydon I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in South Croydon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Can you set a few of compelling benefits to instructing a local conveyancing practitioner in South Croydon

Many purchasers and sellers in South Croydon select a local lawyer so that they can visit in the event that they have problems, and to sign documents rather than depending on the Royal Mail.

There is a distinct edge when selecting a property lawyer nearby to a premises you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the area and potential local concerns - however this is moot. The majority of conveyancers carry out their work by way of email and may be almost anywhere.
