I have telephoned my Audley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
