Survey - as vendors is there anything we need to do before a survey happens?

[cazzabazza]

We've recently sold our property and a survey has been booked by the buyers for Monday. I don't know if there's anything we need to do to prepare our property before the survey takes place?

It may be the answer is nothing, in which case I apologise for a silly question! But I just wondered if we needed to clean and tidy as we would ahead of a viewing, or if we need to move any furniture etc? And whether I need to be there?

someone needs to let the surveyor in, but after that they like to be left to get on with it. Common sense is don't leave valuables about.

a surveyor will also want to get in the attic so clear the access.
