I have instructed a Poole lawyer having checked 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. Your property 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 Poole postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Poole.

We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Poole. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact our HSBC valuation?
Poole conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
