We have agreed to purchase a house in Cambourne. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Co-operative be concerned?

Given that your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Cambourne.

Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cambourne. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Cambourne - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I'm selling a flat in Cambourne. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?

Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
