Just had a survey done on a flat I am buying with help from the Woolwich. Cost over £300. The report is 29 pages long. 26 of those are no more than general comments on property maintenance and are doubtless repeated on every survey. The actual report tells me virtually nothing. I know this is more for the lender than me, but it really does look like money for old rope. I doubt the surveyor spent more than 15 minutes looking at the property.
Rant over.
