Howard-
K. I’m no use to you then. I had a similar survey done on my last house - it was very thorough but not ‘official ‘. The surveyor provided a report etc but it was only for my info. He specified that on the paperwork too. I guess it avoided him having to stand over any mistakes etc and the cost reflected this too. I was happy enough, the mortgage company did their survey too and I thought if they were happy it would be fine.
I would consider getting a builder to look at your property - a good builder should be able to advise you if things are right or not. Ideally both a survey and a builder but that’s more expense.
