  • Does anybody know if there’s any difference between a structural survey and a building survey?

    Our lender is refusing to accept the findings of a building survey saying they require a structural survey. Surveyor says it’s the same thing. Lender won’t give any more detail other than to say there’s a difference and they want a structural survey.

    ???

  • Is there anything in particular that the lender is looking into? Potential subsidence for example?

    As far as I am aware a structural survey would be done by a structural engineer rather than a surveyor.

    We had one done on our house, and they only look into the structure of the house but in more detail, not into things like electrics.

    For example the company we used was https://structurehaus.com/
