I used the RICS website to find someone local who was accredited and worked under their own name, hoping they’d more likely be familiar with any potential hyper-local issues that could effect the house.
Similar aged house for us, a bit further north - the Haynes ‘Victorian House Manual’ is quite a handy guide (covers Edwardian stuff too).
Tbh, for what a homebuyers report covers, in hindsight I feel like it’s much of a muchness and doesn’t really matter that much who you go with - a lot of it is obvious stuff, and then a lot is caveated to hell and back with ‘this should be investigated by a specialist in X’.

Does anyone have any helpful advice on how to choose a surveyor for a freehold property purchase? House was built around 1900 and is in Derbyshire.
We will ask some friends for local recommendations of people they previously used and have good experiences with. Other than personal recommendations and obviously cost at the other factors I should consider before deciding on a surveyor?
