Condition Surveys:

Our comprehensive condition surveys provide a detailed assessment of the overall condition of a commercial property. We evaluate the building's structure, interior and exterior elements, mechanical and electrical systems, and any visible defects or maintenance issues.

Dilapidation Surveys:

Dilapidation surveys are essential when negotiating lease agreements and before a tenant occupies, or vacates a commercial property. As a landlord if you feel the tenant has let the property fall under disrepair a mid-term dilapidation survey can also be carried out. We inspect the property to assess any repairs that are required or any reinstatement obligations based on lease terms, helping you understand your potential liabilities or understanding where you stand with negotiations.

Pre-Acquisition Surveys:

Our pre-acquisition surveys are designed for potential buyers or investors. We conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify any existing or potential problems/defects, providing you with an accurate understanding of the property's condition and potential future maintenance liabilities/costs.

Planned Maintenance Surveys:

Our planned maintenance surveys assist property owners in developing a proactive maintenance strategy. We identify areas that require attention, estimate the costs involved, and provide recommendations to help you prioritise and plan maintenance activities effectively. We can also oversee the build-works to ensure everything is being done the way it should prior to release of funds to contractors, or take care of the entire project for you.

Specific Defect Surveys:

If you would like a specific issue or defect within your commercial property inspected, and an independent expert's opinion is required then we can help. We can conduct targeted surveys to investigate and provide expert analysis. These surveys focus on particular areas of concern, such as dampness, subsidence, roofing, or structural issues. This service is commonly used to prepare for court proceedings where the courts insist that an independent survey report is obtained.

Investment Protection:

A commercial property represents a significant investment. A thorough survey can identify potential issues or defects that may affect the property's value or require costly repairs. It helps protect your investment by uncovering hidden problems and ensuring you have a complete understanding of the property's condition. More importantly, having an independent valuation of a commercial property ensures that you are not overpaying.

Negotiation Power:

The findings from a commercial property survey can provide valuable leverage during negotiations. If significant defects or maintenance issues are identified, you can use this information to negotiate a fair purchase price or negotiate lease terms, saving you money and avoiding complications in the long term.

Regulatory Compliance:

Commercial properties are subject to various regulatory requirements and standards. A comprehensive survey can identify any compliance issues, such as fire safety, accessibility, or environmental concerns, ensuring that the property meets the necessary regulatory requirements.

Maintenance Planning:

Understanding the condition of a commercial property allows you to develop a proactive maintenance plan. By identifying areas requiring attention or improvement, you can allocate resources effectively and prioritise maintenance tasks, minimising disruptions to your operations.
