HMLR Title Numbers. Why is my Title on another Title's C Charges NOTE: ?

Hi , Please can anyone help?

I have downloaded a title number belonging to local land next to my property and came across my property’s Title on this piece of land. Is it normal for me not to be aware of this?   

"C: Charges Register This register contains any charges and other matters that affect the land. LEASE dated .......                                   

NOTE: Lessee's title registered under LA-----, ( LA ----- this my title number ).What is a Lessee ? Do I have any rights to the land? 

Thank you

    Lessee = tenant = leaseholder. So sounds like you're looking at your freeholder's title (or part of it at least).

    The Title of which you are the owner - presumably this is a leasehold title yes?
    Then there is the freehold title (which may be owned by someone else) which could be just for your property, or fora larger area of land of which your property is just a part. In other words, someone owns the freehold of the land on which there are 6 (whatever) properties, each of which has a separate lease.
    Looking at the title Plans for the freehold and leaseholds will also help clarify the areas covered by each title.

    Hi thanks for the information.
    So am I right in thinking that if  "
    someone owns the freehold of the land on which there are 6 (whatever) properties, each of which has a separate lease,"  then each of these 6 separate properties will have the same land Title number?
    Thanks

    Each of those properties will have
    * a separate leasehold title number and also
    * a single, shared, freehold title number
    If you look up your property address on the Land Registry site here, and assuming your property is leasehold, you will see two Titles available for you to purchase: the leasehold and the freehold.
