Schedule of Condition

A Schedule of Condition (SoC) is a detailed report that documents a building’s condition at a defined point in time, typically including comprehensive written descriptions and photographic evidence. These reports help reduce uncertainty and protect client positions by establishing a reliable baseline of the property’s condition, helping to avoid future legal disputes over damage, deterioration or repair liabilities.

Schedule of Condition purposes

Our nationwide team of RICS Chartered Surveyors create impartial, professional reports containing photographic and written condition records of elevations, roofs, interiors, finishes, services interfaces, and external areas. We can create Schedules of Condition to satisfy a number of circumstances, including:

• Lease schedules of condition for tenants, landlords and managing agents to evidence the condition of a property before occupation and limit repairing obligations at lease commencement.

• Pre-works schedules for construction projects affected by party wall matters to offer protection before adjacent works and support party wall procedures, including access arrangements and work methods.

• Pre-works condition surveys for proposed licences to alter to ensure the baseline condition of the property is documented.

• Post-work comparison inspections for completed projects to ensure compliance and review any damage.

• Complex condition records for heritage, estate, commercial and residential properties.
