Last house I looked at I wouldn't have bothered with a survey. I would
however have paid for a detailed inspection of the drains because I had
cause for concern. I'd rather spend my money on specialist reports about
things I've flagged up than pay someone to tell me less than I already
know.

I agree. It makes a lot of sense to select which items to have a really
close look at.

Are you people sane? The middle aged spinster is going to know if the
drains are dodgy, so get in all the relevant experts? What world are you
plantpots in?

Anyone who disagrees with a house MOT in principle is someone who is hiding
things.
