We can provide worded and photographic Schedule of Condition surveys to protect tenants and landlords.

A Schedule of Condition is a detailed written and photographic record of a property’s state at a given point in time. When you take on a commercial property, the condition of the building at the start of the lease can have a big impact on your future costs.

Why a Schedule of Condition Matters

Without a Schedule of Condition, tenants risk being held responsible for repairs or defects that were already present before they moved in. Landlords, too, can face disputes at lease end if there is no reliable record of condition.

By setting out the state of the property at the very beginning, a Schedule of Condition survey gives both parties clarity and peace of mind. It creates a fair benchmark, helping to avoid costly disagreements later and ensuring that responsibilities are clear from day one.

When is a Schedule of Condition Report needed?

There are various situations when a Schedule of Condition is necessary to protect the interests of parties involved in a property transaction. These include:

  • When entering into a new lease, to limit tenant dilapidations liability
  • Ahead of building works or repairs, to protect both parties from later disputes
  • At lease renewal or lease end, as supporting evidence in negotiations
