The Celebrity Traitors champion, 49, purchased Ayton Castle earlier this year.
The vast estate boasts 17 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a five-storey tower, a private chapel, and 106 acres of gardens.
In a recent interview, the comedian revealed he has received the survey and is now simply waiting for the keys before beginning renovations.
Alan enjoyed a resurgence in popularity last year after winning the first series of Celebrity Traitors.
Clearly inspired by Ardross Castle, where the show is filmed, he went on to purchase his own baronial-style abode, which he plans to transform into a luxury hotel and spa.

The Celebrity Traitors champion, 49, purchased Ayton Castle earlier this year
In February, Alan told The Sun he had signed a seven-figure deal with Disney+ to film a series documenting the renovation of Ayton Castle.
He said of the purchase: 'Some men when they have a midlife crisis buy a Lamborghini or grow a ponytail, but me - I want my very own castle.
'Since I was a boy in Northampton, I've always dreamt big, and have always been enchanted with the history and romance of a stately home.
'As I turn 50, I feel it's time, all I want is a turret to call my own — get me over that drawbridge.'
The renovation series, which has the working title Castle Man, is set to take on a similar set-up to his show with Amanda Holden.
The show is reportedly being produced by Expectation, the same company responsible for .
The Daily Mail contacted Alan's representatives for comment.

In February, Alan told The Sun he had signed a seven-figure deal with Disney+ to film a series documenting the renovation of Ayton Castle
and on their Staying Relevant podcast about his new status.
He said: 'I'm in my turret era. I want a castle and I'm 50. I'm not going to be around forever. I think 50, I just want to do what I want to do.
'I've always wanted a castle. I'm a baron. I'm going to get my own tartan.'
Alan also shut down reports he had been outbid as he said: 'I have bought it. Someone said someone else has bought it but, no, I have.
'I haven’t been this excited about a project for ages. I’ve got the survey now, and I’m waiting for the keys to come.'
It comes after a meeting to inform residents of his grand plans had been postponed due to the 'unprecedented' number of people who were planning on attending.
It was scheduled for March 18, but had to be cancelled as Ayton Bowling Club, where it was due to be held, has a maximum capacity of 120 people.
It has been reported that residents are concerned that the public access to the grounds of the castle could be restricted.
Residents have been told they can submit their queries and grievances about the programme to the community council in the meantime.
