Schedules of Condition

About Us

A Schedule of Condition is a detailed, impartial record of a property's condition at a specific point in time. It is commonly prepared at the start of a tenancy, prior to occupation, or before works commence, providing a clear snapshot of condition to protect all parties from future disputes.

CCB Surveying specialises exclusively in the preparation of Schedule of Condition reports for residential, commercial, and short-term let properties across London and the Home Counties, drawing on over 20 years' experience in landlord and tenant matters.

Schedules of Condition Reports

A clear record of your property’s condition when it matters most.

What is a Schedule of Condition?

A Schedule of Condition documents the existing condition of a property using clear written descriptions supported by high-resolution photographs. The report provides an objective, factual record that can be relied upon should questions arise regarding damage, disrepair, or responsibility at a later date.

When properly prepared, it can be used to:

Protect tenants from unfair dilapidations claims
Assist landlords in evidencing condition
Reduce disputes at lease end
Record condition prior to occupation or works

When is a Schedule of Condition Required?

At the start of residential and commercial tenancies
For short-term, serviced, and managed rental accommodation
Prior to refurbishment, fit-out, or redecoration works
In connection with Licence to Alter projects, where a record of condition is required before works begin
In connection with Party Wall works, to document condition prior to adjoining works

We undertake Schedule of Condition reports for:

Commercial property (offices, retail, industrial)
Residential property (flats and houses)
Short-term, serviced, and managed rental accommodation
Common parts and shared areas

Our Approach

We take a practical, thorough approach focused on accuracy and clarity. Each Schedule of Condition typically includes:

A detailed written description of all inspected areas
A comprehensive photographic record, cross-referenced to the text
Clear formatting suitable for professional and legal use
Prompt issue of the completed report following inspection

Where a Schedule of Condition is prepared in relation to Licence to Alter or Party Wall matters, our role is limited to recording the existing condition of the property.
