I don't really see it that way - how much do you want to know about it? if you are buying a Victorian house, for example, it's safe to assume that most of it is shot to f***.

You could spend a lot of time, effort and money trying to quantify exactly how bad it is, but to what end?

So do you not bother getting a survey at all then?

I bought one place without a survey. The other times I had surveys done but can't say they added much to what was already quite apparent.

Could be that as @frankenbike days above, I have somewhat assumed the "benefit" of having owned, repaired, paid people to repair houses for the last going on 30 years. I realise not everyone will be in this situation.

I guess my starting point is that all properties, even new ones, will need work on them sooner or later.
