Buyer should pay for most things as they are spending the money on the purchase. Makes sense. Caveat emptor etc.
If the seller does the survey's etc they may just make them look good to sell the house.
Feel sorry for buyers though if they pay for surveys etc and find either they are looking at a joke house or the seller takes house off the market.
Go to a modern office block or local new build show home. Go round and take a load of photos of the fuse boxes, main wired smoke alarms and wiring. Email them those
