I am expecting a OIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Haverfordwest solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
I have instructed a Haverfordwest conveyancer having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Haverfordwest.
4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Haverfordwest concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

If a Haverfordwest lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term.

My lawyers in Haverfordwest have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
