Survey missed an issue - can I get compensation?

A homebuyers survey is not a 'survey' as such. It is a valuation that does little more than protect the lender. If you wanted the assurance of some comeback against they surveyor they you would have had to arranged for a full structural survey which, no doubt, you didn't at the time due to the additional cost.
If you have experience in the building trade then you were more than capable of spotting these issues yourself. That is, if they actually exist. Personally, I think your contractor is trying to take you for a ride.
Unbelievable! A Homebuyers Report is a survey and has just as much legal protection as a full building survey. It contains a property valuation but that is purely for the buyers information and has nothing to do with the lender. I think you have got confused with a Mortgage Valuation.0
