TYPICAL CONDITION INSTRUCTIONS ACROSS CHESHIRE
Condition instructions around Cheshire are often triggered by a lease commencement, licence for alterations or pre-start works meeting. Examples include a corporate occupier taking business-park offices; pre-lease evidence for a hotel or restaurant; condition records for converted rural commercial premises; and warehouse and yard documentation along strategic transport routes.
Coverage can extend through Wilmslow, Knutsford, Altrincham, Nantwich and the wider M6, M56 and A556 commercial corridors. The inspection emphasis changes with the property: dispersed sites, high-quality office fit-out, large external areas and a mix of traditional rural buildings with modern industrial and logistics accommodation. 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.
