My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Skipton as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Newark on Trent. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Newark on Trent solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Newark on Trent solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Newark on Trent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Newark on Trent and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Newark on Trent. We have lived in Newark on Trent for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
