Drainage referred back to Lender

Drainage search identified that the surface water drainage is not connected to the sewer therefore not adopted by the water company
This indicates a soakaway at the property (It's 10 years old)
Solicitor has referred this including photographic evidence of the surface drainage to my lender and said they may refer it to the valuer.
Has anyone experienced this? and what was the outcome, was the mortgage company fine or did it affect the valuation? I'm aware its pretty common for newer built houses to have soakaway's so i'd like to think my lender says it's fine. Once this is sorted we can exchange and complete.

One outcome is that the water company should reduce your bill to reflect the fact that they are not having to deal with rainwater from the gutters. Soakaways are quite common and I don't see why this should cause a great problem.
