I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Penyffordd?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company to check if they allow a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Penyffordd.

I am buying a new build house in Penyffordd benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
