Santander mortgage in principle

we've just had an agreement in principle through santander from our mortgage broker and had our offer on the property accepted.
Do santander do a full credit check at the agreement in principle stage or is it just a soft footprint on my file? How long does the process take as we are first time buyers?

Thanks

    Your broker should really be answering these questions, and is best placed to do so - it is what we are paid for.
