    Hi, we’re about to settle on a property. It’s an established home and solicitor recommends we get title insurance. Cost is just over 2 grand. Wondering what the benefits are and if it’s worth purchasing?

    The merits of whether its worth purchase should be addressed by the legal adviser. Is there a specific issue that drives their recommendation ?
