Mortage and survey

Options
My first time buying and I feel a bit rabbit in headlights right now so bear with me.

My mortgage has been approved (subject to valuation), got the survey back today. The valuation is the same as mortgage which is good news?

The survey was a home buyers one? So it brought up some things- a few 3's. Will these impact the mortgage offer at all? I am nervous that these will affect the offer and the sale go through as I am back with my parents now and hate it.

    As far as the mortgage is concerned, you need only look at the mortgage report & valuation as the lender will not see the report on condition you have paid for.

    The reinstatement cost is for insurance purposes.

    Are there any items listed in essential repairs or requiring specialist reports, such as electrical/roofing/timber & damp etc?

    He states there are no reasons to not buy the property.

    where would the essential repairs be found? I can see he recommends an electrician etc to visit but that is it?
