WHEN SURREY CLIENTS USE A SCHEDULE OF CONDITION
Condition instructions around Surrey are often triggered by a lease commencement, licence for alterations or pre-start works meeting. Examples include a corporate occupier taking premium office accommodation; pre-lease records for a town-centre retail or leisure unit; condition evidence before campus refurbishment; and warehouse and external-area documentation close to strategic transport routes.
Coverage can extend through Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate and commercial corridors linked to the M25, A3 and surrounding London market. The inspection emphasis changes with the property: high specification and rental values, extensive landscaped sites, complex landlord services and occupier expectations for a well-presented handback. 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.
ABOUT SURREY
AMS Surveys provides Schedule of Condition surveys across Surrey, including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Farnham, Weybridge and Dorking. The county contains town-centre offices, retail buildings, business parks, industrial estates, historic properties and substantial rural premises. Our surveyors record the condition of accessible areas before lease commencement, refurbishment, redevelopment or nearby construction works.
Surrey benefits from extensive rail connections into London and major road links including the M25, M3 and A3. Recognisable destinations include Guildford Castle, Epsom Downs, Brooklands, the Wey Navigation and the countryside of the Surrey Hills. The contrast between densely developed commuter towns, business locations and rural historic buildings means that survey requirements can vary considerably. A Schedule of Condition provides a consistent written and photographic benchmark that can assist owners, occupiers and contractors if damage or repairing liability is later disputed.
