The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Harrow. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Harrow.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Harrow solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
