I am expecting a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Warwick solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Warwick solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
My partner and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Warwick and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with Skipton.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
