Except it's not. I for one will not trust a survey that I have not
commissioned and at present it's unclear who is responsible should the
HIP turn out to be inaccurate.


The building survey element was, sensibly, abandoned ages ago. Without
the green survey it would just be fixed price conveyancing in advance,
which seems eminently sensible.


In theory. In practice the searches etc will be out of date, and would
hence need redoing.
