boat survey

[Aden]

There are many choices of sailing boat survey companies in the UK. Any recommendation on good survey companies?

If we purchase an old boat, we definitely want to get a survey before putting an offer.

How about a new boat? Surely, we don't need to spend time to repair the broken parts. However, would you also get a survey for a new boat before sailing off, even though there are warranty for it? Sometimes, there are still some missing parts or other problems on a new boat. That's why we think it might be good to get a survey and then request to get the parts fixed. Any comments? It may cost a lot to get a survey for this.
