If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

Any solicitor listed on the mortgage company approved list is required to disclose to the bank of any variations to the purchase amount. If you did not allow your lawyer to notify the price change to your lender then they would need to refrain from acting for you and the mortgage company.
