    Thanks everyone for your help.

    I've explained to the estate agent that we would like to negotiate the price but they are asking me to send over the survey first. Is it in my interest to send them the survey?

    Is this a survey, or a lender's mortgage report & valuation?

    The former is done for the purchaser independent of the mortgage and the latter is done for the lender to determine the mortgageability of the property.

    Independent survey. The bank hasn't done theirs yet.
