Any news on what happened?
Interested as I completed on a house just recently where the Surveyor also said there were signs of damp and we should get a specialist survey done (well 7 different specialist surveys in total actually).
In my case the gutters were quite clearly blocked & broken so when it rained the water cascaded down the walls - you didn't need a specialist surveyor to work out whats wrong with that.
I reckon they may well be ALL reporting signs of damp and recommending a survey; that way they reckon they cant get sued.
Check the gutters, check the water pipes, check the overflow pipes,check the waste pipes & the lav flush, check the chimney caps, and maybe if you still have damp after that you might need a specialist.
