Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Faringdon postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Faringdon.
