Cheers for the detailed reply. All the things you mention appear fine, place looks in decent condition, but pals had one on another property and they found lots of issues inc a form of subsidence. I’d rather throw 1k away than risk finding something later on that takes 10’s of k to fix.
Prob worrying too much, but I don’t plan on ever moving again (global warming and london flood defence plans dependent- going on current projections we could be under water in 10 years).

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.
