It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Somerstown bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

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.
