The place we looked at before we bought our current gaff had a little hole in the corner of the master bedroom, our surveyor/building inspector went at it with a screwdriver and brought the whole corner of the room out... Rotten with termite damage that had been painted over... I wouldn't have minded but we knew the sellers, they then had the cheek to have a go at us because they had to repair the damage... Inspector told us to run away from it... It eventually sold six months later for $50k less than the asking price... Builder bought it, he'll fix it up and flip it...
I couldn't imagine not getting a survey...

Yeah. Isn't the problem here that they can't do anything invasive, so they can't really tell you anything you couldn't spot with a keen eye?
