What does a Schedule of Condition include?

A properly prepared Schedule of Condition combines a written element-by-element record of existing condition with a dated, cross-referenced photographic record, issued in lease-ready format suitable for appending to the executed lease.

Overview

The deliverable is a single, integrated document, not a separate report and gallery. Below: each element, why it's there, and what it looks like in practice.

1 · Site inspection by an experienced specialist surveyor

Every CBC Schedule of Condition begins with a methodical on-site inspection by an experienced specialist surveyor, externally and internally, across the entire demise. The inspection is the foundation of every other element of the deliverable.

2 · Element-by-element written schedule

The written schedule records the condition of every relevant element of the demise: external walls, roof, windows and doors, internal walls and ceilings, floors and floor coverings, mechanical and electrical installations (visual record only), sanitary and welfare, external areas where applicable. Each element is described in objective terms with notes on existing defects and wear.

3 · Dated photographic record

High-resolution, dated photography cross-referenced to the written schedule is the evidential core of the document. Photographs are positioned to support the written description, not to replace it.

4 · Lease-ready format

The Schedule of Condition is delivered in a format ready to append to the executed lease and reference in the repairing covenant. Solicitors receive the document in a form they can use directly, without re-formatting, re-paginating or re-issuing.
