I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Poynton. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

I am helping my sister sell her flat in Poynton. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a required part of moving house. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised.

Where you are using a Poynton conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local energy assessors

I am buying a property in Poynton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
Given that your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Poynton.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Poynton with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
