My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a house in Longford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Your solicitor that is on the Aldermore approved list is obliged to disclose to Aldermore of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify 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 solicitor for your conveyancing in Longford.

The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Longford. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
Planning on purchasing a house in Longford.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Longford solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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%.
