WHEN STOCKPORT CLIENTS USE A SCHEDULE OF CONDITION

Typical Stockport instructions include pre-lease condition records for offices, shops, warehouses and industrial units; evidence before tenant fit-out; schedules before refurbishment or adjoining works; and records of shared access routes, yards or common parts before contractors mobilise.


Coverage can extend across Stockport and nearby areas including Manchester, Cheadle, Bredbury, Wilmslow. The inspection emphasis is adapted to the building and agreement, with particular attention to yard surfaces, loading areas, cladding, roofs, tenant finishes and previous alterations. The final record is structured so it can be appended to, or referred to alongside, the relevant lease, licence or works documentation.

WHAT WE RECORD FOR STOCKPORT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

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 STOCKPORT

AMS Surveys provides Schedule of Condition surveys across Stockport and surrounding commercial areas. The service is used by landlords, tenants, asset managers, developers and contractors where the condition of a property needs to be evidenced before responsibility changes or work starts.

The scope is agreed around the lease, licence or works risk rather than using a generic checklist. In Stockport, particular attention may be given to yard surfaces, loading areas, cladding, roofs, tenant finishes and previous alterations. A dated record can then be compared with the property at lease end, after fit-out or following construction activity, helping separate pre-existing condition from later damage.
