However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 64 years unexpired on the lease.

I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (79 years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease".

My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Nationwide Building Society won't lend on a lease?
