Hi,
I'm looking at buying my next house. On previous purchases we used a family friend to do our survey. I believe he was a Quantity Surveyor and always did a good job for us.
He is no longer available and I'm not sure what type of professional we need to do a survey. The word Surveyor seems to be somewhat non specific as there appear to be a number of different types. Also whats the difference in using an "Surveyor" vs an "Engineer"
Is there a general rule of thumb on what type of professional you need for the type of property you are looking at buying?
> Surveyor (Chartered, Quantity, etc? )
> Engineer (Civil, Building, Structural etc?)
> Architect etc
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
