Depends if it's the one the mortgage provider send (who are basically just seeing if the house is worth what they're lending to the buyer) or one who's working for the buyer.
The one we used was super thorough, I had a bit of a meltdown when I saw everything he'd listed. Once I went through it all, there was a lot of arse-covering and one or two reasonably big things which needed sorting.
Re-sold my house a week or so ago, after initial buyer dropped out. Surveyor just been round, he really didn't seem to do much. I bet they just make it up, right? Right?
