What is the difference between a letter of offer and approval in principle?

Lenders give 'approval in principal' which is a statement of how much they are prepared to lend you. A 'letter of offer' is what you will receive when your mortgage has been fully approved, and you only get this after your offer on a property has been accepted.

Do sellers usually wait to accept offers?

Legally speaking, there isn't a time frame for sellers to respond to your offer. However, it's an unspoken rule in the industry that sellers and/or the listing agents should respond within a few days, with 48 hours as the norm.
