After shopping around on the internet I have found a Llandovery property lawyer having checked that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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 Llandovery 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 wife and I intend to buy our first property in Llandovery. Conveyancing practitioner has been instructed. The broker advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property is just 17 years old.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
