My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Llanrwst but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
The solicitor that is on a Aldermore conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Aldermore of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Llanrwst.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Llanrwst with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
