Hi everyone.
Our buyer mortgage company, Nationwide I think, are sending their surveyor next week. Im not sure if its just a valuation or if they have paid extra for a homebuyers/building survey. What should I expect when they come? Will they want to move my funiture for example? How long does it take? Its a 2 bed house but quite old, around 250 years.

It will probably just be a valuation as he or she is from the mortgage lender. If people are having a homebuyers/mortgage survey, they pay for that themselves separately.
For a valuation survey I'm almost surprised they are turning up, as many valuation surveys are just desktop based on similar properies, or 'drivebys' looking at the exterior. Maybe they are coming given the age of the property. But it will not be at all invasive for a valuation - they're just checking it's not about to fall down really, so might just take a quick look at the exterior and the interior and that will be it.0 -

I've always used the lender's instructed surveyor for the valuation to do my homebuyer's report too - usually a fair chunk cheaper than instructing a separate one.
The lender's ones don't often do full structurals now (at least mine didn't) and that would prob be a separate surveyor.
Let us know

I will be having buyers doing surveys soon too so I'd be interested to know what happens during a survey too! Especially a full building survey?0
