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’.
