Ideally yes. You'll have some repair covenants and most likely a service charge so you'll want a decent idea of the property's condition before purchase. You may also be able to use anything that pops up in the survey as leverage in terms of reducing the price, particularly in the current market.
The homebuyer survey reports I've read look like they've been knocked out by someone junior with a list of typical defects of a property of that age and construction. Not particularly informative and not particularly useful.

Victorian townhouse top floor conversion (leasehold if that makes any difference). Worth getting the full fat report then? Wasn't sure what the best option was!
