Schedules of condition
With our extensive experience we understand the level of detail required in a schedule of condition and the pitfalls often found in poorly drafted documents.
Our reports describe the construction and condition of the various building elements along with an annotated photographic schedule and a referenced plan.
A schedule of condition is a factual document which records the condition of a property, structure or land at a given point in time. It provides a benchmark against which the condition can be assessed in order to quantify any future repairing obligations and potential claims for damages.
Our service covers:
- Arranging convenient access to premises with managing agents and occupiers
- Using a drone or pole camera to access all areas of the building
- Surveying and recording a schedule of condition of the premises including dated photographic record as evidence
- Liaising with your solicitor to advise on the lease terms and conditions
- Distributing copies of the schedule to legal advisors and surveyors for joint signature and attachment to lease agreements, contractual documents or awards
A schedule of condition can be an invaluable document which protects clients’ interests in a variety of situations.
The schedule of condition is essential in protecting you against false claims for damages following construction activity and for benchmarking the condition of a property at the commencement of a lease. Our annotated photographic schedules of condition are comprehensive and structured in order to offer the level of protection you require.
Without a schedule of condition you could be financially exposed to repair costs. A professionally prepared schedule of condition is essential, as a poorly drafted document can offer little or no protection.
Remember! Once the lease is signed or the work has started, it’s too late, so take professional advice.
