I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a The Ridgeway based conveyancing firm?

I purchased a renovated Victorian property in The Ridgeway. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to 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 The Ridgeway and other locations in 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 buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in The Ridgeway. I happened to stumble upon a site which looks to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
