The main types of leisure vessel surveys are as follows:

null

Damage Surveys

Usually requested by the vessel’s insurer to ascertain the extent of the damage and the likely cost of repair.  The items for inspection are normally limited to the vicinity of the damaged area(s).
null

Pre-Purchase Survey

Usually requested by the potential buyer of a vessel once a deposit has been paid.  Its purpose is to provide the potential buyer with sufficient information on the condition of the vessel so that they can decide whether to complete, decline or re-negotiate the contract.  The common items for inspection are listed in the table at Para 2.

Compliance Surveys

Usually requested by an owner or operator in order to determine a vessel’s compliance against specific regulations.  Examples are a harbour or navigation authority requiring compliance with the Boat Safety Scheme, or the Maritime and Coastguard Agency requiring compliance with their codes.  Here, the regulations/rules/code determine what items are inspected.
