I am in the process of purchasing my 1st house in Fishguard. Conveyancing practitioner has been appointed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not needed as the property was only built twenty two years ago.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was constructed more than a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of problems seek a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
