I have instructed a Harrow property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey.

If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
