A Schedule of Conditions Survey is a comprehensive, detailed report that provides an accurate record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time. It involves a thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of the property, highlighting any visible defects, areas of wear and tear, and structural or cosmetic concerns. The report typically covers various aspects of the property, including walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, roofs, drainage systems, and any other significant features.

This type of report is commonly used in several situations, such as during lease agreements to document the condition of a rental property before occupancy, prior to a property sale to ensure both buyer and seller have a clear understanding of the property’s state, or before carrying out major renovation or construction works to establish a baseline condition. It helps safeguard against future disputes by creating a clear, impartial reference point for both property owners and tenants, or between parties in a property transaction.

The Schedule of Conditions Report provides valuable documentation that can protect both parties in case of disagreements regarding damage or changes made during the course of tenancy or ownership. By providing a precise, factual snapshot of a property’s state, it ensures transparency and accountability, offering peace of mind to all involved.
