Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide Schedule of Condition services in Leeds?

Yes, we prepare Schedules of Condition for commercial properties throughout Leeds and the surrounding area. We can typically inspect and report within days of instruction.

When should a Schedule of Condition be prepared?

Ideally before you sign a new lease, as the schedule needs to be attached to the lease document. We can work to tight timescales when necessary.

What happens if I don't have a Schedule of Condition?

Without a schedule, you may be held liable for pre-existing defects when the lease ends. Landlords can claim for repairs to conditions that existed before your tenancy.

Can a Schedule of Condition be prepared after lease commencement?

While best practice is to prepare the schedule before signing, it can be prepared shortly after commencement. However, earlier is always better for evidential value.

How detailed should a Schedule of Condition be?

A good schedule should be comprehensive enough to record all observable defects and conditions. We use high-resolution photography and detailed written descriptions to ensure thorough documentation.

Which parts of Leeds do you cover for schedule of condition?

We cover all of Leeds and West Yorkshire, including the city centre business district, South Bank, Wellington Street, Thorpe Park and the M62 corridor. Instructions in this area are supported from our Leeds Office.

Schedule of Condition for Leeds commercial property

Leeds has a strong legal and financial services sector, much of it occupying period and listed buildings in the city centre alongside newer developments on the South Bank. Period buildings often have stonework, sash windows and roof coverings that are costly to repair, so the starting condition should be well evidenced.

For tenants taking professional and financial services offices or listed and period buildings in Leeds, a photographic Schedule of Condition agreed before completion limits repairing liability to the condition recorded at the start of the lease.
