Solicitor/House Problems

Our house is an oddity. Apraently it is 100% flying freehold. It's a miod terrace and next door own the entire cellar.
It appears that our solicitor told our mortgagge company (the Halifax) that it was only partly flying freehold, which the Halifax's valuation survey later seems to have confirmed.
We only found out the truth when we lost our buyer as the mortgage company he was going through (also the Halifax) wouldn't lend on a property that is 100% flying freehold.
The solicitor has agreed to pay to make it leasehold....but is it worth complaining to the Law Society? Should we tell the Halifax? Any one want a nice 2 bed terrace;) ?!
Ta for any advice, or help....
