Commercial Surveys/Schedule of Condition
If you are looking to purchase a commercial property or sign or renew a commercial lease, a building survey is recommended before you invest your money. This includes a thorough inspection of the building with fully costed repairs.
A schedule of condition is recommended if you are about to sign a new lease. This can be attached to the lease to limit your future repair liabilities, which could save you thousands. A schedule of condition, which contains numerous photographs, may be commissioned by a lessee at the start of a lease or by the current owner to ensure the property is returned in the same condition at the end of the lease.
Defect Investigations
We have many years’ experience in investigating and reporting on building defects. We can prepare detailed and easy-to-read reports including costed repair options on all property types.
