Cash buyer and they didn't have a survey!

I've not had surveys on the last few properties I've purchased, and my mother didn't on her two recent abortive purchases and the one she did eventually buy.
The previous place I purchased, I did have a survey - in the 15 years we were there, none of the things it was gloomy about were a problem, while none of the problems were flagged.
Somebody with a decent knowledge of properties can do at least as good a job, and has more investment in the outcome. The "comeback" against a surveyor is lengthy and uncertain, at best.0 -
