Would an indemnity policy covering a parking issue be acceptable to the (Barclays) mortgage lender?

In the process of buying a flat, where the (underground car park) parking space was bought at a later date separately. Due to various delays the car parking space is still awaiting registration at Land Registry and this issue is unlikely to be sorted in time.
Does anyone know if Barclays as the lender would accept an indemnity policy on this, if one could be bought?
The other option is to buy the car parking space at a point in time when the issue is sorted, but that means a revaluation and possibly loss of the current good mortgage offer.

Any advice on a way forward?

  • Why not just ask Barclays?

    Keep in mind though that a remote parking spot with no facility to wire up power from your home is going to be a problem sooner or later. People without the ability to charge a car at home will end up paying thousands a year more to use public chargers, or be reliant on their employer to keep them mobile.

    It's a flat on a high floor, it's never going to be possible to run a lead. There are chargers in the parking area and some system for using them so that shouldn't be a problem.
