My sealed bid on detached house in Abergavenny was agreed to, but there is a chain.

It is standard to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Abergavenny conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
