A schedule of condition is a document that records the condition of a residential or commercial property at a given time.

 

If you want to accurately record the condition of a building before leasing it or commencing construction works, then a schedule of condition can be prepared, complete with text and numerous photographs. This can be a valuable piece of work to save significant costs or scope for disagreement as it provides a benchmark that can be assessed after works are complete or the lease expires.

 

Depending on the specific requirement of the instruction, a schedule of condition may cover a single building element, such as a roof. However, typically, the schedule of condition cover the internal and external parts of a building. It provides a detailed record of the condition of a property and is generally prepared for legal or contractual reasons.

 

What can you expect to see in the report:

• Location Details: Description of the property’s location and extent.

• Construction Description: General details about the property’s construction.

• Inspection Details: Time, date, and weather conditions during the inspection.

• Purpose of the schedule: pre-lease or building work.

• Restrictions: Any restrictions to access, etc, on inspection.

• Assessment: Written records of the location, nature, and condition of each item inspected (both inside and outside).

• Existing Issues: Document any existing issues, such as cracks, staining, holes, decay, leaks, defects, disrepair, or deterioration.

• Photographs and Video: Visual documentation, including photographs of the property.
   

Remember, a Schedule of Condition helps protect all parties involved and ensures transparency and clarity regarding the property’s state before significant changes or lease agreements.
