Unless you specifically ask for an actual survey, you may actually be getting no more than a valuation.
You need to be very specific about this.
The clue is in the fee being charged.

A valuation type survey will be cheap (ish)..... A full land/geological/topo survey looking for underground streams/drainage etc will cost a LOT

As the place is under 10 years old we went for the basic report (not the home buyers report).
I think the major report was over £1000

That does not suprise me... and I suspect it would still not cover enough to help you with your squidgy lawn...

Found this: look
Still even on the major inspection it doesn't seem to cover much on the outside of the house.

i used to work for a co that did this sort of stuff.
water can be a killer on houses,you need to find the geoligy of the area and where the water mains run.
you could try water devining,it does work,that would give you a clue as to an underground stream.
personally,i would walk away
who cares who wins
pass the pork pies
