TYPICAL CONDITION INSTRUCTIONS ACROSS LONDON
Our London instructions frequently arise when responsibility is about to change or construction access could affect existing finishes. Examples include a tenant entering a fitted office floor; pre-lease records for high-value retail or hospitality space; condition evidence before works in an occupied multi-let building; and documentation of urban industrial units, arches and service yards.
Coverage can extend through the City, West End, Canary Wharf, Westminster, Camden, Greenwich and the many distinct submarkets across Greater London. The inspection emphasis changes with the property: complex leases and demises, high values, restricted access, multi-party building management, intensive fit-out and short transaction programmes. 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.
A LONDON CONDITION SCHEDULE CAN INCLUDE
Rather than repeat a standard checklist, the schedule selects the evidence relevant to the London building and proposed change.
A dated overview of the premises within the City, West End, Canary Wharf, Westminster, Camden, Greenwich and the many distinct submarkets across Greater London
demise boundaries, cores and shared areas within scope
premium finishes and bespoke joinery
dense ceilings, floors, cabling and mechanical interfaces
shopfronts, kitchens and customer spaces
external terraces, roofs or service yards where accessible
high-resolution evidence indexed for large professional teams
The scope is confirmed before inspection. Specialist testing, opening-up and legal interpretation are not assumed unless separately agreed, which keeps the London schedule proportionate and defensible.

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.
ABOUT LONDON
We provide Schedule of Condition surveys throughout London, including the City, West End, Canary Wharf, South Bank, King’s Cross, Shoreditch, Westminster and surrounding boroughs. London’s building stock includes historic offices, listed façades, retail premises, warehouses, entertainment venues and major mixed-use developments. Our reports record existing damage and deterioration before leases, fit-outs, basement excavations, demolition or construction work on constrained neighbouring sites.
London is served by an extensive network of Underground, Elizabeth line, Overground, mainline rail, bus and river services. Commercial activity is concentrated across areas such as the Square Mile, Canary Wharf, the West End and emerging regeneration districts. Landmarks, theatres, parks and riverside destinations sit alongside some of the country’s most intensively developed property. In this environment, a detailed Schedule of Condition can be important evidence where vibration, movement, water penetration or accidental damage is later attributed to occupation or construction work.
