I am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Kingsland. Conveyancing practitioner has been chosen. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house is only 17 years old.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation if relevant. If there are any signs of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
