It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Teignmouth bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend.

I simply don't know who is right.
Your property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.
