Hi Everybody, Your help please, I'm new,trying to find/buy my first NB and your sanguine advice is much appreciated and I heartily endorse the view that experience cannot be understated. Sadly, I don't know a veteran NB engineer/builder; so apart from avoiding vested-interest recommendations do you have any advice about finding a good surveyor? I'm aware of the internet glossy ads and have studied the few that are brave enough to publish samples of their work and their "small print limitations". Is there a recommended surveyor website somewhere? If there isn't then I'll be utilising the laws of random chance!
