• Confirm whether, as part of the solicitor’s obligation to satisfy themselves during their review of title, the inclusion of title insurance from Title Solve is deemed acceptable. Title Solve provides policies that protect the Property Registration Authority and cover any missing deeds that have never been registered or may not exist.
