Grrrr.... How long do I wait for the surveyor to turn up?

He was booked to come from 1-2.30 (full survey for our buyer).

Not turned up! Left a message on my estate agents answer phone but nothing

try the estate agent again, if no response go out. People need to learn to keep appointments or to make contact if they can't.

It's only 13.40 on your post he's still got 50 minutes before he is late

That's what I was thinking. I actually have to go out between 2.30 and 3.30 so if he turned up now I would miss that as apparently it takes 90 minutes to do the survey

He's supposed to be here for the whole 90 minutes 50

I'm going out in 5 minutes. If he turned up after that it wouldn't give me enough time.

That's ridiculous then I thought they might just zip round in 20 minutes knowing surveyors

He's just turned up, I've told him he has to be done in an hour

But if you're going out at 13.50 and the appointment was at 1 you wouldn't have had enough time for the appointment anyway if it was 90 minutes?

I know. Went out and came back - he then turned up.
