I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Chesterton on 22/12/2025, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

My folks are having difficulties in finding their Chesterton land registry title on the site. They recall that back in the 60’s when they purchased the house there were complications concerning Chesterton not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all properties in Chesterton should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Usually it will disclose all the residences within that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s lender.
