Selling House Mortgage Survey

We are in the process of selling our house. In the winter time there were a few areas where condensation built up so we have painted those areas with undercoat ready for the other main coat. If we did not decorate this would a basic Mortgage surveyor pick this up and drop the value as it still needs painting?
Just checking in case I need to paint the bedroom before the survey.

I doubt it would make much difference, but unless you've got a good reason to do otherwise - I'd get it done.0

A mortgage survey could just be a paper (internet) exercise or drive-by so unlikely to be of concern.0

Just get a roller out and paint it!0

The valuer is unlikely to be concerned that the painting isn't finished (which is a minor cosmetic issue) - it's why the walls needed patches repainting in the first place.
The patches of undercoat (or any patched-up top coat) might alert the valuer to the condensation/damp problem.0
