I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Mansfield building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend.

I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mansfield conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
