    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Schedule of Conditions service?

    A Schedule of Conditions is a detailed report that outlines the condition of a property at a specific point in time. Our Schedule of Conditions service involves a thorough inspection of the property, which includes taking photographs and notes to document any existing damage or defects. This report is often used as a reference during lease negotiations or when a property is handed over to a new tenant.

    Why is a Schedule of Conditions important?

    A Schedule of Conditions is important because it helps to protect both the landlord and the tenant. It provides a detailed record of the condition of the property at the start of a tenancy or lease, which can be referred to at the end of the term to determine whether any damage has occurred. This helps to prevent disputes and ensures that any necessary repairs are identified and addressed in a timely manner.

    Who needs a Schedule of Conditions?

    A Schedule of Conditions is typically required for commercial properties that are being leased. It is important for both landlords and tenants to have a clear understanding of the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy, in order to avoid any disputes or misunderstandings down the line.

    How long does a Schedule of Conditions report take to complete?

    The time it takes to complete a Schedule of Conditions report depends on the size and complexity of the property. However, our team of experienced surveyors can typically complete the inspection and produce the report within a five working days.

    Can a Schedule of Conditions be used for insurance purposes?

    A Schedule of Conditions can be used as evidence when making an insurance claim. It provides a detailed record of the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy or lease, which can be used to prove that any damage or defects were pre-existing and not caused by the tenant.
