I think you may have to try and remove the emotion from this, whether the surveyor is good or not and whether the survey helps or hinders, and think about it as a transaction only.  How much do you want to get it off your hands?

It seems you're in the fortunate position of not having to sell to live elsewhere. You may well have this house on your hands for a further six months, plus time it takes to go through the legals. How much is that worth? You may have to sell for £250k to get that sale.  Then again, it may not sell for another 15 months!  How long are you willing to sit on this asset without the liquidity of the cash?

All ifs and buts, but something I experienced and was glad to sell in the end at a reduced rate to move on with my life.

I agree with you in principle and I do want to move on with my life however £23,000 is a kitchen in my new house which needs a significant spend on it.

As mentioned above I’m having a report done on the roof that will make the severe look like an incompetence surveyor and I’ve asked to proceed at 260. The agent rang the buyer to see if she’s considered this today but he didn’t answer the phone so the agent left a message and has not yet heard back let’s see

Buy a second hand kitchen for £1200-1500 install it move on!

If it nags you that much come back to it later.

ETA - I assume you have paid SDLT for purchasing an additional house. What is the sell by date to claim your SDLT back? How much might that lose you?

As I said before YOU have an impasse.
