We have just had an offer accepted on a house. We need to do our mortgage application with the building society but I am reluctant to get the survey done through them.
We had a survey done through them last year and they appointed Countrwide (or is it Countrywise?) who then subcontracted out to another company. When we wanted to ask questions, the surveyor was rude and wouldn't discuss anything. It seemed that they didn't see us as the customer and we had a bad experience.
Is it normal to get a valuation through the bank and then pay for a separate survey? Or is it going to add more hassle if we go to negotiate as they will come in in dribs and drabs? If we do go separate how do we find a good surveyor?
