Time and experience of the surveyor (assuming the correct type of surveyor is carrying out the survey!)

Valuation - typically six to ten a day about half an hour at each property - remember this is five days a week 52 weeks a year.

Home Buyers Report - two to three hours including writing up and checking using standard phrases often carried out by valuers whilst doing a valuation.

A Typical day:-  one Home Buyers Report and two to four valuations, usually two or three a week and then valuations as above.

Building Survey - one day at the property say three a week, possibly some design and extension work or site supervision.
