It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Leeds Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?

No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel.
