We are soon to exchange buying a property in Whitstable but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
The lawyer that is on the Principality conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Whitstable.

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.

I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Whitstable. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Notwithstanding that your last Whitstable conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
