My old flat was the same, converted about 88. The buyers "solicitor"
(useless internet conveyancing firm) brought the issue up, my solicitor
basically told him not to be an arse, and that was the end of that, sale
went through fine.

You have to suspect there are hundreds of thousands of properties in the
