The big question is whether the surveyor you choose is competent enough to deliver the service because of the complexities of a listed building. RICS states:However, the surveyor needs to be familiar with the nature and complexity of the property type and the region in which it is situated. This is likely to include most of the following knowledge:common and uncommon vernacular housing styles, materials and construction techniques; particularly important for older and historic buildings where the surveyor must understand the interaction of different building materials and techniquesgeneral environmental issues where information about them is freely available to the public, including flooding, radon, aircraft noise, typical soil conditions, important landfill sites, etc.the location of listed buildings and conservation areas/historic centres, and the implications of these designationslocal and regional government organisations and structures; andan awareness of the socio-historical/industrial development in the areaSource: Listed Building Surveys - Building Surveyor and Survey Cost
