Can you be cc'ed in solicitor emails?

We are trying to buy a property. Our solicitor is telling us 1 thing. The estate 'in behalf of their client' and thus via their solicitor seems to be saying different things.

Are we able to ask our solicitor for the email chain and/or ask to be cc'ed in future correspondence so we have the facts?
Many thanks

My solicitor either ccd me in to most correspondence with the buyers solicitor or forwarded it on. You're paying...they are acting on your instruction.

they wont, because of confidentiality they wont divulge other parties correspondence address
i asked and the most they did was copy paste the content of the email

I’m not sure that being cc’d in to an email from one solicitor to another is likely to breach any confidentiality

Isn't that information on the sales memorandum?
