We’ll help you understand the condition of your commercial property before you sign on the dotted line. Our qualified building surveyors will carry out a commercial property survey, inspecting the building and supply a detailed report of their findings. This includes identifying any defects and liabilities, along with providing repair and maintenance.
A commercial property structural survey provides a thorough analysis on the construction of a property, identifying any building defects or the presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos. The report offers suggestions for immediate repairs and advises on future maintenance for the property, to assure that the office space meets health and safety requirements. A swanky office is nice (and we’ll get to that later), but a safe one is essential.
With most commercial leases, tenants are liable for property repairs and maintenance, so it is crucial to understand the condition of the property you are signing into. Identifying any long-term costs can open the floor to negotiations, meaning that we can work together to finalise a deal tailored to the needs of your business. We help devise a long-term plan to mitigate liability at the end of your lease, to minimise costs and maximise value.
The cost of a commercial property survey depends on the size of the building that is being surveyed. Having a team of in-house building surveyors allows us to factor this into the total cost of relocating, and provide you with as much information as possible, for the lowest cost. Commercial property surveys also provide insight into hidden costs, allowing us to negotiate a better deal for you.
When it comes to signing an office lease, mistakes can be costly – so it’s important to get it right first time. Our expert team are here to offer advice and guidance on the findings of your commercial property survey every step of the way, answering any concerns you may have. With your interests in mind, we provide you with all the information you’ll need to be able to sign your new office lease with confidence and clarity.
