I don't have a suggestion for a surveyor but I'd ask the question on https://www.bisfhouse.com and you should get an answer. But definitely you will need a surveyor with experience of BISF houses, as a surveyor who is not familiar with them is not likely to be of much use.

I should have said that my main experience of buying a BISF house (and hearing from others too) is that you need to seek out people with actual experience as even those who should know better such as surveyors can be woefully misinformed. So you need to take anything anyone without actual experience says with a pinch of salt.

For example I heard from one person who had their BISF house misidentified as a defective precast reinforced concrete house by a surveyor, which is about as wrong as you can get... a bit like taking an unidentified bird to a biologist and being told it's a fish. Other common errors are that it's a temporary prefab or not mortgageable.
