If you aren't bothered about having a full written report I have just engaged Robert hopps from the hopps partnership to do a full survey on the place I'm buying.
Its cheap at 300 quid plus vat but it's only an oral survey. You do get sent pictures where necessary by email and he flys a drone over the house.
You then sit on the phone with him for 30 mins or so and he goes through what he found and you take a note. It's a very cost effective way of doing it.

@Howard mainly the second, house was completely renewed in 2018 and all seems done to a good standard (fingers crossed) only things I could spot are:
-leaning front 2 feet wall will or will just stay put and become endearing like Pizza tower.
-cracks on second storey balcony's floor would affect the structure, compromise water tightness and/or cause damp problems???
@NickCJ has that ever worked? My sellers are super greedy and stubborn, it seems only huge discovery will get us a discount...
@revenant. brilliant! will drop him a line. Many thanks!!
