    We asked the post master in our local post office to do this; he said they get a lot of similar requests.

    What's the rush with getting the deed signed if you're waiting for the survey anyway? The solicitors shouldn't need the signed deed until completion. 
    I was thinking along these lines myself but they've advised to complete and return "as quickly as possible"

    Are there any family members with a different surname you could ask? :-)

    There's really no rush. After all, if you haven't had a survey yet then (depending on the results) you might not even be buying the property at all.
