TYPICAL CONDITION INSTRUCTIONS ACROSS BATH
The need for a condition schedule in Bath is usually connected to a defined handover, fit-out or works risk. Examples include a retailer taking a Georgian shop; an operator entering a hotel or restaurant lease; pre-works evidence in a listed terrace; and records of shared vaults, basements, courtyards or access routes.
Coverage can extend through the city centre, Walcot, Oldfield Park and routes towards Bristol, Frome, Trowbridge and Keynsham. The inspection emphasis changes with the property: highly sensitive façades and interiors, basement areas, historic movement and the practical limits of repair or alteration in listed property. We agree whether the record is limited to the tenant’s demise or should also include façades, roofs visible from accessible positions, common parts, yards, boundaries or contractor routes. This keeps the document relevant to the specific lease, licence or works agreement and gives the parties evidence they can use later.

SCHEDULE OF CONDITION FAQs
What Is A Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed record of the condition of a property at a specific point in time. It usually includes written descriptions and photographs of visible defects, damage and deterioration.
Why Do I Need A Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition can help protect tenants, landlords, property owners and contractors by providing clear evidence of a building’s condition before a lease begins or construction works take place nearby.
When Should A Schedule of Condition Be Prepared?
It should be prepared before signing a commercial lease, starting building works, undertaking party wall works or carrying out activities that could affect neighbouring properties. The inspection should take place before occupation or work begins.
Who Pays For A Schedule of Condition?
The cost is normally paid by the party requesting the report. This may be a tenant seeking to limit repairing liabilities, a landlord documenting the condition of a property or a contractor protecting against future damage claims.
