House Survey Report: What the Surveyor Actually Found

The survey arrived and it has a Category 3 item and four Category 2s. This translates what they mean in plain English, gives you a cost estimate for the urgent items, tells you whether to involve a specialist, and notes whether any findings justify going back with a price reduction.

4. Identify any items that should be re-examined by a specialist before exchange
5. Give a negotiation note: whether any of the findings justify a price reduction request
