I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a Old Ford based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you accept the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender to see if they offer you a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Old Ford.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Old Ford benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Old Ford. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Old Ford who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Old Ford conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Old Ford conveyancing firm to represent me?

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Old Ford property is 26 Rhondda Grove in June 2009. The net price payable by the leaseholders as determined by the Tribunal was £3,015.13. This comprised £11,300 premium for the reversion less £8,284.87 costs as ordered by the County Court.
