These document the current state of a property, often used before construction work or at the start of a lease to protect against future claims.

Schedules of Condition and Condition Surveys are detailed documentations of a property's state at a specific point in time. These surveys are typically conducted at the beginning of a lease, before construction work, or as part of a property transaction.

They provide a comprehensive record of the property's condition, including photographs and descriptions of existing defects or wear and tear. This documentation serves as a benchmark against which future changes can be measured, protecting both landlords and tenants from unfair claims. For construction projects, it helps prevent disputes about pre-existing damage to neighbouring properties.

Condition Surveys are also valuable for property owners planning maintenance schedules or assessing the overall state of their assets. The reports must be thorough, clear, and objective, often requiring expertise in various building elements and the ability to anticipate potential areas of concern.
