Outstanding enquiry - referred to lender underwriter?

Hello,
TL;DR we have been waiting and ready to exchange on a SO property since late June, we had one enquiry outstanding. Our solicitor wanted to see the s106 consent to communicate to public sewers under the water industry act 1991, the HA have been messing us around saying we shouldn’t need this, we’ve completed on other properties without etc and appears like they’ve not approached the developer for this. Our solicitor was also happy for a section 104 which is completed. Neither has been issued and our solicitor gave us an option to refer to our mortgage lender (Leeds building society). This morning he’s emailed us to update us that the issue has been referred to an underwriter to assess if we can go ahead without this or not. Now worried that the lender will either say no or pull out their offer all together.
any advice would be appreciated! So stressed.

just a ball game be fineDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
