Building condition surveys are usually carried out as part of a due diligence process prior to the acquisition of freehold commercial premises (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 aware of any existing disrepair and potential liability. They also need to know the suitability of the use of the premises under consideration and the ease with which they can be converted or adapted to suit requirements.

Our reporting format can be tailored to suit your requirements, combining all the relevant information, either as a PDF, Excel spreadsheet or hardcopy (paper) format. Talk to us about other formats – we should be able to help.

Reports can feature as much detail 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
Carried out by a qualified engineer, an M&E condition survey focuses on mechanical and electrical installations within a property.

Stock Condition Survey
Establish the condition of an individual building or a property portfolio by assessing and recording all building elements (external and internal).

Planned Maintenance Programme, Operational and Terminal Dilapidations
This is an extremely valuable survey in terms of asset management tools. When considering disposal, portfolio restructuring or planning building expenditure over a predefined period this survey is ideal.

We work 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.
