It has come to my attention via my financial adviser that my Dagenham lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Dagenham lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Dagenham conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
The owners have very brash sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out agreement (also termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Dagenham conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to be issued with an injunction to bar the seller disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of damages.

I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Dagenham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Dagenham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
Following years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Dagenham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
