Building Condition Surveys
Building Condition Surveys have many uses but are usually carried out as part of the due diligence process prior to the acquisition of freehold commercial premises. These are sometimes referred as a Pre-Acquisition Building Survey. It is not uncommon for these types of surveys to also be produced for leasehold properties before a tenant signs a new lease.
Commercial premises are rarely found to be in full repair and potential purchasers need to be in no doubt as the extent of any existing disrepair & potential liability, the suitability of the premises for the use under consideration and the ease with which the premises can be converted or otherwise adapted to suit your needs.
Our reporting format can be tailored to suit your needs, combining all the relevant information in either a PDF document, Excel spreadsheet or produced in hardcopy – other formats can be provided upon request. Reports can feature as much detail as is required including both plans and photos. Our experienced Chartered Building Surveyors will work with you to understand your needs before conducting the survey.
Our standard Building Condition Survey can be upgraded to include many additional details or reports. Common enhancements that we can provide include:
- M&E Condition Survey – focuses on the mechanical & electrical installations within a property and is conducted by a qualified engineer.
- Stock Condition Surveys – establish the condition of an individual building or a property portfolio by assessing & recording all building elements both externally & internally.
- Planned Maintenance Programme, Operational and Terminal Dilapidations – extremely valuable in terms of asset management tools, particularly when considering disposal or portfolio restructuring and also when planning building expenditure over a predefined period
We have experience working in many different sectors including education, retail and on all types of commercial property. Whatever your requirement, rest assured Survey Hub can provide you with the help and assistance you require.
