The one I had to have for my first house came back about a completely different property.

Many years ago had a mortgage surveyor whose only comment about the house was that the toilet seat was cracked and needed to be replaced.

Probably after they had given it a spin?

I had one who said the bedroom door had paint splashes on and they needed removing. I mean wtaf!

Major structural damage then. For mine there was no mention of brickwork cracks and when I redid my kitchen I found the gas boiler fitter had filled the hole in the wall badly. A breeze block, some newspaper and filler. When I removed that and saw the outer wall (house has cavity walls) I could see daylight.

Well, I do wonder what the mortgage surveyors actually do. I think they turn up and check if there's a house there and if it looks like it's about to fall down. If not they write the value of the house as paid on the valuation. I'm sure they mentioned mine was in need of modernisation, you don't say.

Our buyer had the same surveyor doing his mortgage survey and one he'd paid extra for a detailed survey job...... only thing he could throw up was that he could see evidence of a door once being in place inside the side of the garage on the house wall, but now filled in.

Despite us already supplying building permissions paperwork & sign off for the work for the garage erectiion, and front porch build with the side door being moved to the front...
Buyers solicitors made us pay for an indemnity policy to cover the fact permission was granted to fill in the hole left in the side wall where the original door had been as not been typed into the paperwork that the hole could be filled in!

as not been typed into the paperwork that the hole could be filled in!

You could have offered to remove the offending brickwork
