A Schedule of Condition could be required for both residential and commercial properties.

When a leaseholder is entering into a commercial property lease, a Schedule of Condition may be required as evidence of the condition of the property at the start of the lease. It is usually a narrative description of the property with photographic evidence.

In the case of both residential and commercial properties, where the Party Wall etc Act 1996 applies, a Schedule of Condition is usually prepared, once again, to provide evidence of the state of repair of any neighbouring building prior to building works being carried out at the neighbouring or adjoining property. The Schedule of Condition can be referred to at any time, either during the course of the works or after completion in order to ascertain whether damage has occurred to the neighbouring property.

Harvey & Partners Chartered Surveyors are regularly instructed to prepare Schedules of Condition on behalf of property owners, landlords and tenants for incorporation into a Lease, for Party Wall purposes or for any other reason.
