Detailed photographic and written records to protect your property interests in Guildford, London, and the South East.
What is a Schedule of Condition?
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed, factual photographic and written record of a property’s physical state at a specific point in time. Prepared by professional chartered surveyors, it establishes an undeniable benchmark of the building’s structural and aesthetic health before any legal or physical changes occur.
By documenting existing defects, cracks, and wear-and-tear, this document serves as crucial legal protection. It is primarily used to limit tenant liabilities at the end of a lease or to resolve potential disputes regarding damage caused by neighboring construction works.
When is it needed?
- Before signing a lease
- Before adjacent construction works
- Party wall matters
