My home in Holly Village is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor need to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Holly Village. The Holly Village property was put into my name in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Our sealed bid on a property in Holly Village has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Holly Village. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Holly Village conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Holly Village is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Holly Village you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
