SCHEDULE OF CONDITION
A Schedule of Condition takes pace prior to any planned construction works, in advance of a start of a tenancy, lease, or alteration or in regard to party wall matters.
The aim is to ensure that a record is produced with the outcome being that if there is any suggestion or claim that damage has arisen, there will be an impartial surveyor’s report in both written and photographic format that all parties can refer back to, in order to ensure that the damage allegation can be validated, rectified and ultimately checked against.
Schedule of Condition Reports and Surveys will focus on those areas of the subject property, or neighbouring property, that are likely to be affected by either planned construction works or party wall works.
Structural works will affect and change the way shared party walls carry load. Equally, if there are any planned excavations, the installation of the concrete foundation into the ground is likely to change the way the soil around it supports the neighbouring structures.
This can indeed have a knock-on effect and movement to those structures.
