We can do the survey now-
Where is the block,what type is it?
10pm on a friday might not be convenient
It depends how old it is, particularly if it's less than 10 years old. Have a look at what maintenance the current owners pay, and what work has been done on the property in recent years....can anyone advise what type of survey I should get, how much it should cost and recommend a surveyor?

Its 1960s, block of 20+, flat roof but flat is not top floor, Preston Park area.
Brick work? or system built panels?
Brick.
For that age of property its essential to know what is in the sinking fund (if anything) for the block maintenance as well as whether the condition/age/replacement date or planned replacement date for communal equipment like the main water and power mains and the lifts. Whoever the management agent is should be able to provide this info to you; if they're reluctant there is probably something wrong.
Good,very good,excellent even-built to last in that period,bet the grout is hard as nails,pipe work and electrics would be areas to check,hopefully the floors are concrete-
The area is good,hope the freehold is reputable and assume it's a private block as opposed to council-
Cheers. Will request more detailed info on this. Wouldn't this and nature of freehold etc. normally be part of solicitor's remit too?

Yep - concrete floors & private. Need to get more info on freehold share and management.
