How long for homebuyers report?

The survey on the house I am buying was done on Monday, the lender texted and emailed me today with the mortgage offer docs which confirms valuation at the price I am paying, but the valuation was also a survey - home buyers report. So the surveyor has confirmed the valuation to the lender so when will I receive the homebuyers report?

    I think the only people who can tell you are the surveyors. Give them a call first thing tomorrow?

    Was it through Nationwide? Check your junk folder if so - we had a home buyer's report done at the same time as the valuation from Nationwide and all the stuff from the surveyor, including the report, ended up in junk! Worth a look.

    Could be 2 days, could be 3 weeks. I'd certainly chase after 6 or 7 days.


    One I had took over 2 weeks. I chased lots, and they lied saying it was posted, then said they'd email, then post until we were going round in circles and I was getting really peed off with them - still nothing. Eventually my lender rang the surveyor and he said he would get it typed up that day and emailed (which they did)!

    Valuation is separate. They write up the report. Ours took about 7 working days. The valuation came in after 2 working day
