Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide pre-lease surveys in Nottingham?
Yes, we conduct pre-lease surveys for commercial properties throughout Nottingham and the surrounding area. We work to your transaction timescales.
How does a pre-lease survey differ from a Schedule of Condition?
A pre-lease survey provides advice on whether to proceed with a lease and at what terms. A Schedule of Condition is the formal record attached to the lease. We often prepare both together.
What issues should concern me before taking a lease?
Key concerns include structural defects, roof condition, mechanical and electrical services condition, and any compliance issues that could become your responsibility.
Can the survey help with rent negotiations?
Yes. Identified defects and required repairs can support negotiations on rent levels, rent-free periods, or landlord contributions to works.
How quickly can you complete a pre-lease survey?
We can typically inspect within days and report within a week. Expedited turnaround is available when transaction timescales require it.
