As my old boss found out.( about 15 years ago)
The house he bought was 5/7 years old " so no need for a survey I am covered by NHBC !!!!!

Dry rot discovered - lounge, half the staircase and dining room removed and replaced.
Kangol used on the hall to expose rotted gas main and replace it.
All the ground floor block wood floor replaced etc.
IIRC total about £15K
Root cause was awful pumbing leaking under the ground floor that rotted the gas main etc.
Eventually he discovered that all the houses in the development had experience problems.
His insurance did not cover the original cause (£500 to repair) so he had to threaten the builder who eventually coughed up.
