We recently had the pleasure of working with JBC Control Systems Limited, a leading provider of bespoke control system solutions across the UK. Our team was instructed to carry out a comprehensive Schedule of Condition Survey at their offices and warehouse facility located in Atherton, Greater Manchester.
As experts in building condition surveys for commercial properties, our role in this project was to document the existing state of JBC’s premises prior to lease commencement. This step is essential for protecting tenants from future liabilities related to the condition of the building. It ensures that any wear and tear or pre-existing damage is clearly recorded, helping to avoid disputes when the lease comes to an end.
About the Property
The property consisted of two main elements – a modern office suite and a large industrial warehouse space. As with many operational business premises, both buildings were in regular use and had undergone a number of modifications to suit the operational needs of the business.
Our survey focused on recording the condition of:
- Internal finishes including walls, ceilings, and flooring
- External building envelope including cladding, roofing, doors, and windows
- Mechanical and electrical fixtures where visible
- Any notable signs of wear, damage or maintenance issues
Delivering Clarity and Peace of Mind
For JBC Control Systems, this survey provides clear documentation of the building’s condition as it stood at the start of their occupancy. This not only protects them from being held responsible for pre-existing defects, but also offers a baseline for ongoing property management and future maintenance planning.
All findings were supported by high-resolution photographic evidence and detailed written descriptions, compiled into a structured report for their records. The final report was delivered in digital format, allowing for easy reference throughout the lease period.
Why a Schedule of Condition Matters
In commercial property, ambiguity can be costly. Without a Schedule of Condition, tenants may find themselves liable for putting a building back into a condition that exceeds what existed at the start of the lease. For proactive companies like JBC, a Schedule of Condition is a smart investment that supports transparency and reduces future risk.
We’re proud to support forward-thinking businesses like JBC Control Systems in making informed, protected property decisions.
