Hi, how long would you expect to wait for an Insurance Valuation Survey Report?
In the past, when I have had a Pre-Purchase Surveys the report has come back within a few days and no problem. I understood that Insurance Survey reports usually come back in 3 to 5 days.
I have had this boat a while and the Insurers require a Valuation Survey – fair enough no problem!
I engaged a local Marine Surveyor based on recommendations both locally and on these forums.
The actual survey was completed and paid for (terms of the contract) over 3 weeks ago, but no report - despite emails and phone calls and lots of promises. If I knew it would take this long I would have had second thoughts.
I am now getting concerned and impatient!
I have had reminders from my Insurance Broker and the renewal date is now getting close and the situation is now critical. My Insurance Broker cannot offer a fully Comprehensive Cover without an up to date Insurance Survey, this in turn violates my Marina’s Terms and Conditions; so more than a minor irritation. I have to say though, the Engineer is really good to deal with and the verbal advice is excellent, just wish the report was forthcoming. I understand and appreciate that the Engineer maybe busy but....
I don’t want to name and shame as that is not my style, but I really could do without the expense of getting another surveyor, but not sure what to do next.
