Schedules of Condition
We prepare detailed schedules of condition to provide an accurate, impartial record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time, typically prior to construction or neighbouring works.
Schedules of Condition Services in East Midlands and Yorkshire.
Schedules of condition are commonly used for party wall matters, licences to alter, refurbishment projects and dispute avoidance. Each report includes written descriptions supported by comprehensive photographic evidence.
These records protect all parties by providing a clear benchmark if damage is alleged during or after the works, helping to resolve issues quickly and fairly.
FAQs
What is a Schedule of Condition and why is it useful?
A Schedule of Condition is a detailed record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time, usually before nearby building works begin. It protects both parties by providing an agreed reference if damage is alleged later. This can prevent arguments and help resolve issues quickly.
When should a Schedule of Condition be carried out?
It should be completed before works start—ideally after access has been agreed but before any site activity that could affect the property. It’s commonly used for Party Wall matters, licences to alter, refurbishments in shared buildings, and works close to neighbouring properties.
What does the report include?
Typically it includes a written description and a comprehensive set of dated photographs, room by room (and externally where relevant). We record existing defects such as cracks, stains, or damage so there is a clear baseline condition.
