My Commercial Building Surveyors Deliver Expert Building Surveying Services Across the UK

A commercial building survey is a detailed inspection of a commercial property by a qualified building surveyor. It assesses the condition of the property, identifies structural issues, defects, and maintenance requirements. You need one before purchasing commercial real estate, negotiating a commercial lease, or planning refurbishment works. Our RICS chartered surveyors provide comprehensive reports that help property owners make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the commercial building. A typical survey takes 2-4 hours for smaller properties and up to a full day for larger commercial properties. Our experienced team of surveyors ensures thorough inspection of all accessible areas. We pride ourselves on quick turnaround times, typically delivering detailed survey reports within 48-72 hours of the inspection.

Technical due diligence (TDD) is a more comprehensive assessment typically required for property transactions. While a building survey focuses on the condition of the building, TDD includes analysis of building services, compliance with regulations, environmental factors, and future maintenance costs. TDD is particularly important for acquisition surveys and helps property developers assess the full scope of their investment. Our chartered building surveyors provide both services tailored to your needs.

Yes, a schedule of condition is essential for both landlords and tenants entering a commercial lease agreement. It documents the state of repair at the start of the tenancy, protecting tenants from being held responsible for pre-existing defects during dilapidations claims. Our RICS surveyors create detailed photographic records and written descriptions that serve as legal documentation, helping avoid disputes at the end of the lease term.
