I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Thirsk building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
