    What timescale did you agree when you paid the surveyor for the report?

    I think they previously mentioned 48 hours to get the information to our mortgage lenders and up to 7 days for the report to be sent to us by email.. just wondered if it really does take this long? Maybe I should stop being inpatient!:rotfl:

    Well there's your answer. Remember they'll be working on other reports as well as yours.

    Depends how busy they are too. Market's generally slow and it's a quiet time of year... See that piece of string there...? ;)


    Mine took at 2-3 weeks in April 2013. Constant chasing (and lots of lies off them).

    My valuation and survey were done on a Friday, and they emailed me the results the following Tuesday :)


    It really depends on your surveyor I think, mine seemed to take some pride in making sure you got the results quickly.

    I shall keep my fingers crossed then! I think it was Up to 7 days so hoping it may be earlier:)

    Thankyou
