A Condition Survey is a mid-range inspection and record of the current condition of a premises. It differs from a Commercial Building Survey as it is normally less detailed and is not intended to diagnose or offer advice on any defects which may be revealed. A Condition Survey, and the subsequent Schedule of Condition that is prepared from the inspection, is useful for a variety of reasons:
A Condition Survey is often required, and is always recommended, at the beginning of a commercial lease. The Condition Survey is useful to both the Tenant and the Landlord as a basis for dilapidations negotiations, which may occur both during the term of and at the end of a lease.
Condition Surveys are also a useful means of recording the nature and condition of a property for a number of other reasons, for example, prior to building works or other activities by a third party which might affect your premises.
In these http://californiahomehealthcare.org/xanax/ cases, the Condition Survey provides a clear record of the pre-existing condition which can underpin a claim for loss or damage. Equally, a Condition Survey provides a sound defence against an unfair claim. It is often in the mutual interest of all parties involved in a venture to have a Condition Survey carried out and served on all parties and the costs of preparing the Schedule of Condition can be shared.
