Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could still be with the lawyers who handled the purchase.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Garndolbenmaen bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend.

Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.
