Mortgage Valuation - Gap in Tile In Roof

Hi
I've just had a mortgage valuation by a surveyor - just the cheap walkaround one (guy was here for 10 mins if that). When the surveyor left he was looking up at the roof so thought I'd get up in the loft to see if there was anything he might have noticed whilst up there and I spotted daylight and one clear gap at the central ridge that joins both sides of the roof. I'd say it looks like either a misplaced or broken tile.
Question I've got is, will this affect the overall price of my property at all? Everything else in the property is sound except for that but this has now got me worried.

Replacing a broken tile costs peanuts, it's minor regular maintenance, not something which will affect the price.2

That's really comforting, thank you. I was just more concerned when the guy was looking up at the roof as he left and wondered whether that might make its way into a report and devalue the property in any way.0

There will be no retention on that. A tradesman with a ladder or cherry picker can fix that for very minimal cost.

What's the general condition of the roof like?mr_jelley said:That's really comforting, thank you. I was just more concerned when the guy was looking up at the roof as he left and wondered whether that might make its way into a report and devalue the property in any way.0 -
My roof is ok, some better on street some worse.
What do they look for - I sometimes get the impression that they have a quick look, but then reading sometimes get the impression they check in detail....0
