When I asked my local West Byfleet solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality 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 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 West Byfleet postcode.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are West Byfleet based

Because on completion the purchase price needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only take place on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
