    Why has the surveyor asked for additional reports now?

    Not a clue, sorry. You'd need to ask the surveyor. Some will be quite happy to explain to you if you call them.

    Have you applied for your mortgage via a broker? If so give them a call with your queries or contact the bank for an update as to why the information is being requested and verify this with the valuer. Don't be afraid to PESTER lol Good luck :j

    I don't have his contact details.


    yes we are doing it through a broker but he cant seem to get any answers from the valuer.


    very frustrating, we thought he would ask for all the reports at once not once weve sent a few in
