How long to get results of a building survey?

We had one done on the house we hope to buy last Monday and haven't had the results through yet. I did speak to the surveyor and she said there was no major issues but I want to see the detail. When should I start to harass her?

Allowing time for the report to be written up and for the post, you should get it about a week after the survey was done.0

Probably a week to 10 days. I know it's a frustrating wait as it means that everything else in on hold.
It's probably worth giving the surveyor a polite reminder after a week - mine had got stuck on his secretary's desk waiting to be posted. If you haven't heard anything in two weeks then get more official and set your solicitor onto them.0 -
I'd give it about a week as well. Any I've had done have been initially sent by email and then followed by a copy in the post.0
