Advice: Bank sold us one property, with two houses on it, already 2 parcels, but 1 address on the deed.

Has this happened to anyone else?

We bought a Freddie Mac foreclosure recently for under $50,000. We assumed we were buying 1 house on 1 lot. I didn't pay special attention to the warranty deed at the time of the purchase.  We are now selling the property for $75,000. Our agent double checked our special warranty deed, and noticed that in fact we purchased two parcels. Our agent took pictures of the second house, it needs little work, and should be worth over $100,000.

Our sales agreement is contingent on a survey, so we are about to send the surveyor out there to properly divide the property into two addresses, and we will sell the first one to the buyer, and proceed with repairs and sale on the second.

Buy 1 get 1 free. Never heard of it, thank you Freddie.

What should I be aware of, and what should I make sure to do in this situation?
