It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Buckley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
