Default House purchase - building survey - what to look out for?

What I want to know from people who have done the building survey is how
detailed they are compared with a homebuyer's survey and is it normal
practice for the buyer to request particular attention to be paid to
aspects of particular interest e.g. wiring, flat roofs etc.


A survey can't possibly do an in depth study of everything. You'd have to
take the house apart to do that.
You'd need a good electrician to do a check and test on the electrics -
and a good roofer to look at the roof.
