It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date.

Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank.

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.
