Specialist Schedule of Condition reporting across London
London is the UK's largest and most complex commercial property market, and the cost of getting a repairing covenant wrong is correspondingly high. From a Mayfair townhouse converted to office use, to a glass tower at Bishopsgate, to a refurbished light-industrial unit in Park Royal, the buildings, leases and tenants vary enormously, but the value of an evidential Schedule of Condition is consistent: it limits exposure and removes ambiguity.
Our London instructions span the City, Midtown, West End, South Bank, Canary Wharf, Stratford, and the wider M25 commercial zones. Every report is prepared by an experienced specialist surveyor and structured so it can be appended to the lease and relied upon for the entire term.
We work with City property solicitors, national and boutique managing agents, REITs, occupier corporates and individual tenants. The depth of evidence is consistent across every instruction.
Why a London Schedule of Condition matters
London commercial leases are almost universally on full repairing and insuring terms. Terminal dilapidations claims in London routinely run to six and seven figures, and a properly evidenced Schedule of Condition is the single most effective protection a tenant has.
London's building stock is exceptionally varied, Georgian, Victorian, post-war, modernist and contemporary buildings sit side by side, often within the same street. Each carries different defect profiles and different repairing risks. A robust Schedule of Condition fixes the documented baseline at lease commencement so neither party is later arguing about what was already there.
For landlords, the same document protects the asset by giving a defensible record of condition at handover, useful at every subsequent lease event.

London commercial property in context
Greater London comprises 32 boroughs and the City of London, together representing the largest concentration of commercial property in the UK. Office stock alone runs into hundreds of millions of square feet, with markedly different profiles across the City, Midtown, West End, Southbank, Docklands, and emerging clusters such as King's Cross, Stratford and White City.
Beyond offices, London's commercial mix includes hospitality, retail, light industrial, last-mile logistics, life sciences and mixed-use schemes, each with their own building characteristics and lease conventions. We approach every London instruction on its own terms, with the building type, lease structure and likely dilapidations exposure all informing the depth of the survey.
The borough pages below set out the practical local context where useful, from the dense post-war stock of Camden and Islington to the modern office clusters of Tower Hamlets and the suburban commercial parades of outer London.
