It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Henfield building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend.

Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
About to purchase maisonette in Henfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Henfield conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
