I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Whitefield based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company to ask if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Whitefield.

My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Aldermore as we wish to carry out renovations to our property in Whitefield. Do we need to choose a nearby Whitefield solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Aldermore do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore list.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Whitefield. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

If copies can’t be located, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Whitefield. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your previous Whitefield conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
