    They have every right to impose whatever conditions they like on the sale of a house. However nobody has to buy it with those conditions attached.

    Not without transgressing COP's within the industry.

    Who is then? The house has been part-exchanged to them; presumably the sale transaction is between them and the buyer.

    There may well be articles in code of practice for housebuilders directing how they can dispose of anything they take in part exchange that I am not aware of. What are they?

    They are the vendor in the transaction between them and Persimmon.

    Persimmon is the vendor in the transaction between Persimmon and the OP.

    The original vendor won't give a stuff what Persimmon do or say regarding the second transaction; it is out of their hands.

    And what are those? Do they say they can't insist on a particular solicitor?

    Which is not the same thing as claiming they are not the vendor, is it

    G_M posted a link a few days ago. I can't be @rsed to argue the point but suffice to say the developer is taking the proverbial.

    You cannot and should not enforce services on a buyer when purchasing. Simple.
