Commercial Surveyors

If you own or lease a commercial building, there’s a good chance you’ll need commercial surveyors at some point! Similarly, if you’re thinking of purchasing a commercial building or investing in this type of property, you’ll want to ensure a survey is carried out by a specialist surveyor.

With a thorough assessment of the property, you can verify its safety, confirm its value and determine what remedial and/or maintenance works will be required in the short, medium and long term.

Commercial surveys are a fantastic way to gather critical information about a building or property. Before signing a long-term lease on an industrial unit, for example, you might want to ensure that all of the electrics and plumbing are fully functional and safely installed so that you don’t face operational disruption. Conversely, a property owner may commission a survey at the start and end of a lease to determine if any damage has occurred.

Commercial surveyors are specialists in assessing non-residential properties, so it’s important to make use of their specialist expertise. Whether your investment concerns an office block, retail units, factories, warehouses or any other type of commercial building, a specialist survey can provide the insight and impartial assessment you need.

As you might expect, numerous different types of commercial property surveys can be carried out to obtain more information about a specific building or site. These include:

• Condition surveys
• Party wall surveys
• Dilapidation surveys
• Defect diagnosis surveys
• Rebuilding cost assessment
• Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) survey
• Licences for alteration
• Schedules of condition

Knowing what type of survey to commission can be critical to meeting your legal obligations and gathering critical information. If you’re unsure which type of survey is best suited to your needs and your property, be sure to seek advice from specialist commercial surveyors.
