Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Llantarnam. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?

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 Llantarnam and other areas of 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Llantarnam
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Llantarnam conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
