We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Tonyrefail conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander completed the valuation? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Tonyrefail. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Tonyrefail.
I am expecting a OIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Tonyrefail solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tonyrefail solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

I am buying my first flat in Tonyrefail with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Tonyrefail I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tonyrefail for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
