You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Skipton but by your Hoyland property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date.

I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hoyland - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
