I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Llandaff North solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander 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 Llandaff North surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Llandaff North has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff North. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Llandaff North conveyancing search charges, etc).

In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
