Can you sue former solicitors?

We bought a house 8 years ago and have recently decided to downsize, our sale fell through because the two story extension (done circa 1990) doesnt have evidence of building regs and our council (Derbyshire) dont keep records dating more than 15 years.
The buyers are arguing this makes it a 3 bed and as such is overvalued. Our solicitors arent happy as they say it's been 30 years and 4 owners since and theres nothing we can do, despite their survey also not bringing it up as an issue.
Our previous solicitors when we bought the house didn't ask this question, if sadly the buyers do pull out can we go to our previous solicitors with a claim? This would really hit us hard
I think explains it all, they are trying to pull a fast one. It's a complete B/S reason.
Tell them you'll buy an indemnity and if that's not good enough remarket.0
