My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a house in Pontcanna but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Nationwide will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The property lawyer being on a Nationwide conveyancing panel is required to advise Nationwide of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing houses in Pontcanna and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Principality.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Pontcanna agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Pontcanna. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is usual to have concerns 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, Pontcanna conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.
