Switching broadband providers - CityFibre appointment

Hi - we've had FTTP from Openreach for about 4 years now (2 with BT, 2 with Sky). I want to switch to Vodafone (who can use Openreach according to Openreach's website), but when placing the order it says a CityFibre engineer needs to come out to take a look.

I really don't need any more holes drilling into and around my house (the router and Openreach box is on the opposite side of the house to the street), and I don't care about upload speeds (I know CityFibre is better for this).

Has anyone local gone through a similar process with Vodafone (or anyone else) and been forced to get CityFibre installed alongside an existing Openreach line? I spoke to Vodafone and they couldn't confirm either way what'll happen, but they did say if CityFibre insist on installing a new line I can cancel at that point and my Sky broadband account will remain active. Thanks!
