My solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Bebington. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround.

Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
