Surveying costs ⇒ Is the offer okay?

@ Bauexperte: Why "business savvy"? I guess I'm a bit slow right now... :-/

He is "encouraging" you with the discount offer to convince your neighbor of his qualities :D I only know that in our surveys with detached house developments ;) Rhineland greetings

@ Building Expert: Why "business savvy"? I seem to be confused... :-/

Because he acquires with the offer. Furthermore, I can also confirm the price. I have to pay a similar amount.

He "animates" you with the discount offer to convince your neighbor of his qualities :D

I only know this from our surveys with DH developments ;)

No, so again: this is completely common... it was even once a topic here at the main station, that surveyors' trips can be shared among several parties.
I believe the issue was that they even HAVE TO.
