I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Syston building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend.

I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender.
