CWBC recently carried out a Commercial Schedule of Condition for a property in Stockport, providing our client with a comprehensive record of the building’s current state prior to lease commencement. This report plays a crucial role in protecting tenants from future liabilities relating to pre-existing issues.

What is a Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed document that records the condition of a property at a specific point in time, typically prior to occupation or lease. It includes:

• High-resolution photographic evidence
• Written descriptions of the condition of each element
• Identification of existing defects and deterioration
• Supporting documentation to limit repairing liabilities during and at the end of a lease
• Key Findings in Stockport
  During our inspection of the Stockport property, several notable defects were identified, including:
• Damaged Roof Coverings – We observed visible wear and tear across sections of the roof, with cracked and slipped tiles that could lead to water ingress if left unaddressed.

Why a Schedule of Condition Matters

This survey ensures our client enters into their lease fully informed and protected. By documenting existing damage, the Schedule helps avoid unjust dilapidation claims at lease end and provides a clear baseline for any future discussions with landlords.

At CWBC, we work with commercial tenants and landlords to deliver accurate, reliable, and timely Schedules of Condition across a range of property types.
