Our offer on the boat we have viewed at Chertsey has been accepted, subject to survey.
I would like a full survey and an engine survey (Volvo TMDs).

Can anyone recommend - or otherwise - any surveyors in the area? It would be good to find one who could do both the construction and the engine survey rather than commissioning two separate people.
Any suggestions regarding what aspects of the engines I should particularly ask to be checked?
TIA

You won't find a structural surveyor that knows the engine side seriously other than he will look and give an opinion.
I do many pre purchase engine and drive if required inspections and river or sea trial with a report of what wrong and what is required to make good. I also work alongside Nick Vass whereby he does the structural side and I do the mechanical side, it works very well, I'm not sure if Nick would travel to Chertsey though.

Give him a try Omegayachtservices . Pm me if you need any help.
 
Don't just pm, bite his arm off! We up in Wales cry that the VP doesn't venture into these parts unless it's Rally related.
 
Thanks for the recommendations, I have managed to secure the services of Paul and Nick.

Just hoping that neither of them find anything dire wrong.
 
A big thank you to those who recommended Nick and Paul. Surveys done very thoroughly and informatively on Mon & Tues, offer price reduced to take account and boat now ours, awaiting transport arrangements to the East Coast.

Thanks again to forum.
 
Not sure where the boat was berthed, but she was brokered by Penton Hook Boat sales, Boat name Cal III, owner Micky Buccheri.
 
Nope, sorry don't know the boat. But if the owner is from West London...
"Micky is an experienced events singer and guitarist. He has a uniquely soulful voice and plays fingerstyle acoustic guitar in blues, country, soul, rock and contemporary styles."
Perhaps :)

Interesting, thank you, that certainly seems to be him, as in the boat papers he left with the boat were his ICC and VHF licences, with a photo.

I intend to return them to him as he probably did not mean to include them.
