Useless full structural survey for 900 pounds

toja · 2009-05-01 09:45:03

Hi everyone. I just paid £900 for full structural survey arranged by Woolwich (the only option they have) and got something like this: - no signs of subsiding or wall cracks as seen from the main road - this I could see myself - the condition (of wires, walls, ceilings etc) is satisfactory given the age of the property…

sian0203, did you get the homebuyers report from somebody else not Woolwich?
After I got my full structual survey report (I thought that was it), 2 days later I received another package and the letter inside, saying that this is more updated survey and "please wait for another update with the pictures" !! I just wonder how it works, and how many more updates will I receive! Anyway, I arranged my own builder for £50 as I said, and he pointed out bad things in the property which needs £5k to be invested (at the minimum). I am thinking to pull out.
