Presumably the same sort of survey as done when selling a house.
Nothing scientific about that.
This can be done by anyone with a calculator, as it has been dumbed
down to be simple enough for the sort of people who are involved in
the house selling business to do.
However, that wasn't good enough for the Labour Party, as DIY
wouldn't involve the sort of money making scam they love. Therefore
the simple procedure has to be done by someone who has paid to go on
a course to make them an "expert", probably pays money to keep them
an "expert" and gives the data they gather on your house to the
government for them to lose and misuse.

reduced data version is acceptable in many cases I believe, that
really is a Mickey Mouse thing.
