We felt the report was more about protecting the surveyor's backside than giving us positive information we could trust about the house. For example the report had a clause which said that there were loose and missing tiles. But no photos were supplied. When we asked for details and locations we received the comment " at random locations throughout the whole roof". That response made us wonder if the loose and missing tiles clause was a standard clause for all reports on old houses with tiles - did the surveyor spend any time looking - we couldn't see missing tiles?
