Buyers going round with builder before exchange/completion

We live abroad and in the process of selling our house in the UK. The tenants that were in there have vacated, so the house is empty.

Our agents are asking if they can get a key to take the buyers round there with a builder. Obviously we are not in the country.

I feel uneasy about this, though can't really put my finger on why. I guess I'm wondering if they will try to find reasons to renegotiate or be difficult for whatever reason. We don't have anything to hide, it's an Edwardian house so it is old, but in good condition.

What's the general consensus on this? Arrange to give them a key or stand firm until completion?

I took a builder on my second viewing! Was nothing to do with negotiating the price - I wanted to check about an extension I planned.

I would let them in - have they had a survey?
