[QUOTE="UNG, post: 550082, member: 8931"] These days I often question the value of some of the home buyers / surveyors reports I've seen, quite often I hear of buyers who have opted for the more expensive enhanced / comprehensive survey which is little or no better than the standard survey costing in some cases a ¼ of the price The problem with all surveys is they have limitations these have over the years building surveys have been impacted by changes to health and safety rules, it is very rare to see a surveyor with a ladder of any size or type While some of these reports have pictures appended to them to support comments that are made I have yet to see one where a picture of the CU or mains incomer is included or any comment on the number of socket outlets which can give an indication on the age and possible state of the electrical installation the best you get is a single sntence comment engage an NICEIC approved contractor to carry out an EICR It is very clear to see that the highly experienced and knowledgeable surveyors of the past are leaving or have left the business most reports now are a word processed amalgamation of standard stock phrases and comments with little personalisation relating to the surveyed property or past history of compliance with the regulations in force since the property was built and or modified or extended [/QUOTE]
