What level is the survey? Homebuyers report?
Banks' surveys appear to essentially be 'is the house standing, does it have a bathroom and a kitchen that can be used'.

the buyers conveyancer said 2 hours!? really?
They'll eyeball some stuff outside then spend an hour or so inside.Sometimes they are just old and slow people so everything takes longer than it needs to and they have nowhere else to be.

The homebuyers survey on our house we were selling took around 2 hours.
The guy was walking around saying things into his phone/dictaphone.
It was horrible to hear him pick apart stuff I didn't even think I should worry about...
"Can't see if there's any air bricks under the decking by the rear extension."
"Door doesn't open and close properly"
"There appear to be frozen sausages in the lawn"
In the end it didn't really matter. The surveyors took ages to deliver it to the buyers who didn't seem fussed by anything anyway!

How long does a survey actually take to do? i have to babysit the surveyor visit on friday in my partners flat (the mortgage one was in and out in 5 mins) it’s a 1 bed flat in a georgian townhouse, top floor so a loft visit is obviously in order. no carpets to lift and just 3 sash windows to open plus a small UPVC with a dodgy windowsill to poke.
