CLIENT BRIEF
RTP Surveyors were instructed to prepare a Schedule of Condition for a light industrial unit at a business park in Hayle, Cornwall. The instruction was undertaken on behalf of the incoming tenant to record the condition of the property at lease commencement and provide a clear reference point for future lease obligations.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
A detailed inspection of the internal and external areas of the unit was undertaken to record the condition of the building fabric at the point of occupation.

The survey included comprehensive photographic documentation to support the written record.

Drone technology was utilised to safely access and inspect high-level elements, including external cladding, roof coverings, and rainwater goods, ensuring a complete record of otherwise difficult-to-access areas.

The resulting schedule provided a structured and evidential baseline for the condition of the property, intended to reduce the potential for future dispute regarding repairing obligations under the lease.

OUTCOME
A detailed Schedule of Condition was produced, supported by photographic evidence, accurately recording the state of the property at lease commencement.

The report provided the client with a clear benchmark of condition, assisting in the management of future repair liabilities and reducing exposure to disputes relating to dilapidations during the lease term.
