How soon would you expect a survey to be arranged?

Hello
Well the title says it all really.
I'm just wondering roughly how long after accepting an offer it normally takes for a buyer to arrange a survey.
I can't remember from when we bought the property but I do remember it was arranged via our mortgage lender.
Any ideas?

when my motrgage was done it took i think 3 days to get the survey done, it doesn't take that long at all. I'd give them a week then chase up to see when they are planning on having it done:T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one

Depends how quickly your buyer gets there mortgage application sent to the bank. Most motivated buyers will get this done straight away, and then I would say you are looking at about 1 week to 1 and a half for the survey, but it will depend on the lender and how busy they are.0

I remember putting an offer in on Monday, getting accepted that night, rang the surveyors on Tuesday, they did the survey on Wednesday and I had the report on Thursday via email and Saturday the printed version.
Once I got the survey done and was happy with it, I then instructed the bank to complete my mortgage application (only AIP until then). Don't think I'd ever arrange a mortgage before a satisfactory survey.0 -
As above really. Offer accepted on Tuesday, phoned the lender, surveyor in on Friday, report by middle of the following week.0
