Just seen an email from our estate agent saying that the buyer for our house wants to book in their survey for next Friday. It would be a full structural survey, so would probably take between 3-4 hours apparently.
DH is happy enough to go ahead and says, given the current situation with coronavirus and social distancing, we should just go out for the entire time (he's thinking drive for a walk somewhere in the middle of nowhere, car picnic etc) so we don't see the surveyor at all. Regardless, I'm still not happy with the idea if I'm honest - I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and so have been taking the social distancing seriously for some time (as should everyone of course). I know that we wouldn't be physically present at the time if we were out but the idea of them walking around the house, potentially touching lots of surfaces etc makes me feel pretty twitchy. Also 3-4 hours is a long time to have to kill with our toddler when everything is shut down! DH very understanding of this and says we can just say no if I want, but has also gently pointed out that that would probably mean that a survey wouldn't be done until well into the summer, potentially delaying things massively when we do need to move really with a new baby...
Gut feeling given the circumstances is no, but any thoughts?
