£365 for assessing a valuation report! Do i have to pay it?

Hi there,

I am in the process of buying a new house. We had had a survey done (cost £250) and now the wonderful Northern ROck have told me they charge £365 for facilitating, accepting and assessing the valuation report for mortgage purposes!

Surely not, our survey was completed by a company of qualified surveyors. Surely this is daylight robbery! Anyone know who I can avoid paying it?

As the are going to charge us £25 for NOT taking their vastly overpriced building insurance!

Help!
