    Having two titles isn't necessarily a problem, if you are the owner of both the leasehold and freehold titles. It is a problem if one is incorrectly registered. There is not much you can do, it is for your solicitor (the current one) to explain what needs to be done. Whether or not an error was made when you staircased is something you can take up with that solicitor once you know exactly what the problem is. Once the solicitor is back from Christmas leave, ask them to clarify what, if any, difficulties there are with the two titles. By the way, having to offer the property back to the housing association is common so I do not think the restriction will be removed.

    Thanks, I stupidly thought that it was only us who would have to offer it back for first refusal rather than the fact that it is attached to the title meaning everyone does. Will contact our solicitor in the new year.
