Hello. Can anyone help me find a surveyor? I have found a house in Saltburn by the Sea that I wish to purchase. I wont be needing a mortgage, but since its a Victorian house I need to get a survey. Same family have lived there for 60 years so I know it needs a lot of work.

    I tried that but got no results. I didnt want to pick someone randomly. The Estate Agent said not to bother, just to get a builder to look around

    So you'd rather pick a builder at random than a surveyor! :eek:

    An RICS surveyor is covered by professional indemnity insurance - what's a builder covered by?? :confused:

    Just shows what Estate Agents know.
