    You won’t usually see the banks valuation survey. They will just say yes or no to the amount you have requested. 
    I’m a first time buyer so a complete newbie - why can’t you see it?  Haven’t I commissioned and paid for it?

    No, the lender has commissioned it. You just covered their costs.

    Truth doesn't come into it, the lender will give a yes or no on whether or not they're prepared to lend you the amount you are asking for.

    Okay and how do I find that out? So if the document doesn’t come to me does Nationwide write to me? I’m very confused

    Nationwide will produce a mortgage offer . If you want to find out about the property get a home buyers survey done.

    The valuation surveyors will tell nationwide if the money they are going to lend you is worth it. They want a back up in case you fail to repay the money bacm

    Okay I get it the valuation sum will be the mortgage offer. That’s clear. I just have become very untrusting of late... quite sad given it’s my first purchase.
