  • My full mortgage offer was put in on the 13th December and my Homebuyers survey carried out a week later on the 20th - got my results back on the 23rd. That seemed quite quick to me, maybe as everyone was quiet over the festive period?!

  • You can normally expect it to be done within 28 days, although most are a lot quicker, if your surveyor was instructed on the 4th Jan, I'd wait until around the 18th to chase it up with your mortgage lender.
