It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Maxton bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to comply with the CML Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
