Structural is difficult beyond visual without being invasive, i.e. removing render\plaster and digging trial pits, hence why surveyors cover themselves for that eventuality.
Some of our walls that looked the worst were actually fine, and others which looked fine with render and plaster on were screwed on the inside...

Survey question.
Chap I work with who is an engineer and used to work in residential sector is saying that I would be better off getting specialists in than doing a full structural. Reason being that the full structural is limited and often the report is wishy washy and full of recommendations to get specialists in to investigate anyway.
So I' debating getting
And then structurally I can check for subsidence by just doing a walk around looking for cracks myself.
Between those 3, I think I'm covering all the important stuff, and I'm going to get a more thorough survey than an all in one jobbie.
Am I mad?
