Had to pay for one of those guys when we required a valuation to buy more of our flat. Seem to remember it being a couple of hundred quid for him to spend <5 min wandering round and then picking a figure.
Seems like a pretty sweet gig. Even used a bike to go between jobs.
I had to use one of these guys too, once, and yes, they spent very little time at the place.
To be fair, they were commissioned only to product a fair market value report, nothing structural, but they were not cheap.
Nothing, it's my house he's 'surveying' for the buyers.
