Providing formal schedules of condition for inclusion in lease documents.
Providing detailed and accurate schedules of condition services for inclusion in lease documents.
As a tenant entering into a new lease we would always recommend procuring a schedule of condition survey to record the condition and arrangement of the premises. This will provide clarity and protect your interests farther down the line, at lease end.
Not only should a schedule of condition record the condition of the property it can also offer clarity around the existing arrangement and layout of the property which can prove invaluable at lease end if alterations have been made or are alleged to have been made.
The benefit of our schedules is they provide both descriptive text and photographic evidence recording all elements of the premises in a clear and logical manner so nothing is left open to interpretation. All our surveyors are trained and experienced in using drones to capture the high level elements of a property and we use these drones in our surveys at no additional cost to our clients.
If you want to learn more about the importance of schedules of condition and how they can help you when entering into a new lease term then read some of our blogs around the subject.

The term ‘FRI’ when referring to commercial leases stands for Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI). This means that the tenant will hold full responsibility for the whole of the property and not just part of it in terms of maintaining and insuring. This will extend to the structure, external and internal building fabric and finishes along with mechanical and electrical services, external areas, boundaries and even underground drainage runs that serve the property.
When entering into a commercial lease as a tenant it is extremely important you understand the nature of the lease and your responsibilities under it and do your due diligence before committing. This is where a commercial building surveyor can help by carrying out a building survey or schedule of condition and even review certain lease covenants to ensure your commercial position is protected as much as possible.

We spoke with Jonathan to arrange a Schedule of Condition on short notice, and he was able to get a surveyor out within just two business days after our initial call. Harjit was who came to carry out the Schedule of Condition, and he was wonderful - thorough, efficient, and very professional. No one at any point was condescending, and everyone was very clear in their explanations. Our report was delivered far faster than we expected.
Cannot rate them highly enough!
