How long does<br />
it take for a surveyor’s<br />
report to come back?<br />
Before we dive into timescales,<br />
it’s important to clear this<br />
question up first. Yes, there<br />
are different types of survey<br />
homebuyers can request, and each<br />
will have an impact on when you’ll<br />
receive the report back from the<br />
surveyor.<br />
There are three main types of<br />
property surveys available to you: Condition Report (Level<br />
One Survey), HomeBuyer’s Report (Level Two Survey), and<br />
a full Building Survey (Level Three Survey). While you have<br />
the choice of three different levels, it’s really only the latter<br />
two that are worth considering.<br />
Homebuyer’s Reports can be returned within five working<br />
days, whereas Full Structural Surveys will take a little<br />
longer to compile, usually somewhere in the region of<br />
eight working days. There’s also a discrepancy between<br />
individual surveyors. Some will simply take longer than<br />
others to get the report out to you, so you should take<br />
the above as a guideline rather than concrete timeframes.<br />
Most good surveyors will give you a rough idea of how<br />
long it’ll take before you instruct them, however. If they<br />
don’t, you are well within your rights to ask.<br />
