I am due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Newark but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
The solicitor being on a Principality conveyancing panel is required to advise Principality of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose 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 property lawyer for your conveyancing in Newark.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Newark? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Newark I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newark in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
