Suveyor abroad

[newboat]

Could anyone recommend a surveyor in Holland or a surveyor here who would travel? I had a couple of quotes from Belgium that seemed terribly cheap compared to here, from when I was looking at a boat there, so maybe a lot less in Holland.

Many thanks.

The new HISWA (marine professionals organisation) agreed formate for reporting the results of a survey is worth nothing compared to anything you may know from UK surveyors. (The price however is pretty familiar)

No recommendation on how to fix anything not found in good order or any prevention. No comments on items that are not viewed as essential (had a discussion with my surveyor on whether a GPS and a VHF are part of that or not!)

No idea about Belgian surveys, maybe they can send you a electronic sample fom another boat ?

With hindsight, the tickets to fly in a known surveyor from the UK seem small compared to the valuable hints and recommendations I received for my previous boat pre-purchase.

Thanks. I'll take your suggestion and use a UK surveyor.
