What surveyors wish buyers checked before they book a survey

Surveyors see preventable surprises: loft hatches sealed shut, boilers off, keys missing for outbuildings, dogs unsecured.

Before the visit

Confirm access to roof space, garages, and manholes where relevant. Tell the vendor to clear cupboards that hide damp-prone corners.

After the report

Store the PDF as a Document and log major defects as Events with contractor quotes if you remediate.
