FAQs

Building consultancy provides professional advice on the condition, construction and maintenance of commercial property. A surveyor assesses risks, defects, repair obligations and potential future costs so owners and occupiers can make informed decisions.

You should consider advice:

  • before taking a new lease
  • before buying a property
  • before starting works
  • if you receive a dilapidations claim
  • if a building has defects or maintenance issues

Early advice often prevents expensive problems later.

A building survey is a detailed inspection of a property to assess its condition, identify defects and highlight repair liabilities. The report explains the seriousness of issues and the likely cost implications.

Yes, and many tenants do not realise this.

Without a survey, you may inherit repair liabilities that existed before you moved in. A survey can identify risks and help negotiate lease terms.

A Schedule of Condition is a photographic and written record of a property’s condition at the start of a lease.

It can significantly limit a tenant’s liability for dilapidations at lease expiry.

A Planned Preventative Maintenance report identifies future repairs and predicts maintenance costs over a number of years.

Owners and investors use it to budget for expenditure and avoid unexpected large repair bills.

Technical due diligence is an investigation carried out before buying a property.

It assesses structural condition, repair costs, compliance issues and risks that may affect value or future expenditure.

A reinstatement cost assessment calculates the cost of rebuilding a property for insurance purposes following a total loss such as fire.

It is not the same as market value and ensures the property is correctly insured.

Property owners, landlords and managing agents should obtain one regularly to ensure buildings are neither under insured nor over insured.

Typically every 3 to 5 years depending on age, construction and use. Older or more complex buildings may require more frequent inspections.

Yes. A surveyor can prepare specifications, obtain tenders, monitor contractors and oversee works to ensure quality and cost control.

The surveyor will explain the severity, likely cause and recommended repairs. In many cases this information can be used to renegotiate a purchase price or lease terms.

A chartered surveyor provides independent professional advice based on experience and technical knowledge. This protects clients from unexpected costs and contractual risks.
