While maybe not strictly illegal, my feeling would be that doing that would be bad form, sir...just not cricket, you know...

Also, if a proper survey, the surveyor could well claim a breech of confidentiality, in that a survey is usually only for the benefit of the individual who commissioned and paid for it. Hard to enforce, though...
