Comprehensive Commercial Surveying Services
Our commercial surveying services cover every key stage of property acquisition, occupation, and redevelopment. Whether you’re purchasing, leasing, or managing a portfolio, our surveys provide clarity, cost control, and compliance assurance.
We specialise in:
- Pre-acquisition commercial building surveys
- Schedules of condition for commercial leases
- Technical due diligence and compliance checks
- Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
- Lease-end and interim dilapidations surveys
Each service is delivered by an experienced RICS commercial surveyor, supported by our network of structural engineers, architects, and cost consultants to provide multidisciplinary expertise.
Pre-Acquisition Commercial Surveys
A pre-acquisition survey helps investors and buyers make informed decisions before purchasing commercial property. We assess structural condition, compliance, maintenance requirements, and cost liabilities – giving you clear insight into risks and opportunities.
Reports include:
- Structural and M&E assessments
- Repair cost estimates
- Compliance with planning and building control regulations
- Recommendations for refurbishment or conversion potential
Our goal is to provide commercial clarity and confidence before you invest.
Schedule of Condition Surveys (Commercial)
A schedule of condition records the exact state of a property at the start of a lease, protecting both landlord and tenant from future disputes.
Our detailed photographic and written reports document existing wear, damage, and compliance issues, helping you limit liability and negotiate fair lease terms.
We provide schedules for offices, retail premises, and industrial buildings throughout the surrounding areas.
Technical Due Diligence
Our technical due diligence (TDD) surveys ensure that the asset you’re buying or refinancing meets structural, legal, and operational standards.
This service identifies potential defects and regulatory issues – from fire safety and drainage to environmental or access concerns, before they become costly problems.
Working alongside architects, M&E engineers, and contractors, we provide full commercial transparency and recommendations for remediation or negotiation.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Effective property management depends on accurate long-term planning. Our planned preventative maintenance surveys outline essential maintenance requirements and projected costs over 5- and 10-year periods.
We help property owners budget accurately, avoid unexpected repairs, and maintain asset value across multi-site portfolios.
Lease Interim & Termination Dilapidations Advice
We provide independent dilapidations surveys for both landlords and tenants, supporting lease negotiations and compliance with RICS standards.
Our surveys clearly identify repair responsibilities, quantify reinstatement costs, and help parties reach fair settlements.

Defects Analysis for Commercial Properties
Our defect analysis service identifies structural or environmental issues such as movement, damp, or roof failure. Each report outlines cause, effect, and remedy – helping you manage remedial works effectively.
These detailed investigations form part of our wider technical due diligence process, ensuring every asset remains safe, compliant, and profitable.
Case Study: Commercial Property Refurbishment
Our recent commercial building survey of a four-storey mid-terraced property in Harrow (HA3 5AG) demonstrates our commitment to detail and investment clarity.
Built pre-1919 with solid brickwork and a timber-framed roof, the building had remained vacant for over a year and required a complete refurbishment. Our survey identified key areas for repair, enabling investors to understand costs, compliance issues, and redevelopment potential.
