It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

My wife and I hope to acquire our 1st property in Pontardawe. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
