I really wouldn't bother. I didn't with my old Victorian house. Just check the roof is straight, the doors Frames are ok, there are no huge cracks you can get your hand in, the drains and gutters look ok and save the grand for when something serious happens and needs work..
ETA if you are hell bent on getting one done you can either upgrade the mortgage valuation to cover it or go seperate. If you go seperate I've heard good things about London property surveyors based in malvern road Leytonstone.
Structural Surveyors, E17 area, and recommendations? Quite a few folks have told me not to bother and that the usual survey is enough but I dont fancy risking it...
