Well... I would have said you can trust surveyors but after my experience I'd say you can't.
If you are nervous maybe go with option 3 (their surveyor but want it all documented).
I did option 2 for our neighbour for minimal cost and trusted them, our other neighbour is a cunt and complained and cost us 2.5K, then her surveyor was trying to pull loads of bullshit about us cutting her patio which was total nonsense.

Apologies if this has been covered upthread. If your new neigbour is doing major work, is it always wise to have your own party wall surveyor? Or is it safe to go with the surveyor they have appointed on the basis that professional standards mandate the surveyor should be independent?
I'd like to save my new neighbour money, but wonder if I am being naïve.
