Hi,
Surveys in Spain are quite unusual. I have just purchased my new house and I was asking about the same question but I went ahead without the survey in the end. 

As per a comment about agents, I must have been very lucky then as my agent was very good. He explained everything about the process (including what it means for a property to be legal, different land and dwelling categories, habitation certificate etc.) and helped me with so much more. I would be too scared to buy a house in Spain without him, especially after hearing 'the stories'. 

hope that helps
