Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this.

There are plenty of instances where premises with apparent issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Llandovery will be able to give you some practical guidance here.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Llandovery conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Nottingham to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham done the valuation? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am expecting a DIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Llandovery solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llandovery solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Llandovery has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Llandovery. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Llandovery conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Llandovery.
