    TBH, I wouldn't worry about it. I agree with EachPenny that it would be a good idea to see the guarantee but I can't see any good coming of making an issue of it with anyone now.

    If the whole site has been treated professionally and all properties have a 10 year guarantee then I'm not sure you really have a problem. If the mortgage company don't know about this then they might not be happy with the solicitor, but the usual thing would be for them to require a treatment plan and/or a guarantee, which apparently is in place, so the outcome isn't far different to what would have happened if the solicitor had told them.

    Except it is arguable that the mortgage company might have refused to give you a mortgage, in which case you might not be living in the home you now have. Who has lost out? You or the mortgage company?

    Personally I'd want to get hold of a copy of the guarantee and check that it is effective, and other than that I'd do nothing else.

    Thank you. I guess I am just a bit annoyed that my solicitor didn’t feel it was a detail I might like to know!
