How long does a homebuyer survey take?
The inspection, which will be carried out by a Chartered Surveyor lasts between 2-4 hours. Whilst on site the Chartered Surveyor will inspect all structural elements of the building from the roof to the drains.* Whilst the Surveyor will not be able to open up concealed parts of the property, move furniture or carpets he or she will be trained to follow the trail of suspicion, to look for signs and suggest further investigation if he or she has concerns.
