After shopping around on the internet I have found a Yelverton conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Yelverton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property.

You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
