"Several firms...assumed the client would know the difference or the estate agent would have explained it to the client" - you cannot be serious? If 23% of firms handling leasehold purchases failed to explain this to the client, and the SRA has apparently "referred" less than 10% of cases (for matters including AML and accounting errors), then what are the SRA doing about these failures of basic legal competence and professional service?
