Cost of a survey will depend on the size and value of the property. I presume you are getting a building survey done? If it's being done for a mortgage lender this costs more than an independent survey.

Full structural survey is expensive, but probably not worth it.

Every survey I've had has failed to spot the problems with the property, so I'd just go with the cheapest one available. Even if they do spot problems, then they are so full of caveats that you won't get anything out of them.

You shouldn't need a survey, just a valuation??

Does it really cost £1970 a month for an agent to bill a client for me?

We need a nodding icon.

If the survey misses something you are about as likely to get compensation as Milan is to correctly cable up his wendy house.

If they are not responsible for anything wrong with the survey, then why the heck they charge so much?
