Surveys on New Builds

I know this is probably a stupid question but......
I'm in the process of purchasing a new build but no idea if I'm supposed to still get a survey done? New to the buying process so am a bit clueless.
I have my mortgage in place and solicitor has been instructed but not sure whether a new build even needs a survey. Or is it just the normal snagging survey you get done with the builder?

Just the snagging, usually.0

No just snagging. But you can hire someone to do it.0

You're usually covered by your builder for 5 years and definitely covered up to 10 years by NHBC. Double check that though. So I wouldn't consider it necessary. XLoan 1 £5200/£8000
Loan 2 £300/£5800
Total £5500/£138000 -

some are only 2Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
