Hi,

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get the results of a survey?

What happens next?

Thanks

It took about a week and half to get our results back (just had a homebuyers survey done). The next step.. you decide if you wanna buy the house or not and have a chat with the estate agent / your solicitor.

You can also call the surveyor to get more vague unspecific non-answers from them

Our survey results came through the next day. We are now waiting for the solicitors to do the relevant searches and draw up the contract. We have had a few forms through the post to complete - a questionnaire about rights and boundaries etc of the property and fixtures and fittings inventory which I presume is for the contract. Not much left to do now but wait for an exchange date (other than chase the solicitors).

I called the company that did our building survey and gave them my email address. They emailed the survey to me in two working days and I received it in the post the day after. On top of this, a few hours after the surveyor had finished, he spent ages on the phone with me answering all of my questions. I was in a bit of a panic at this time as the estate agent was putting us under a huge amount of pressure to move ahead with everything prior to us getting the survey back. This was certainly the most stressful time.
