Why Commission A Commercial Property Survey?

Many of our commercial clients in Bristol and Somerset (including Bridgwater, Taunton Bath and Yeovil) instruct Corporate Building Consultancy to undertake a commercial property survey because they understand that in the long run it will save them money!

One of the most important issues to consider when acquiring a leasehold interest in a commercial property is dilapidations.  Understanding the physical condition of a property is important from an operational point of view.  Understanding the liability for repairs and maintenance however is critical from a financial point of view.  This element of a property survey is often overlooked.  Many tenants are therefore caught out at the end of the lease when the landlord makes a claim against them for dilapidations.

Our surveys detail the physical condition of a premises but also advise on the immediate dilapidation liability.  This means that prospective tenants can negotiate good terms before they sign a lease.  In many cases this can save them tens of thousands of pounds at the end of the lease.
