Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide Schedule of Condition services in Leicester?

Yes, we prepare Schedules of Condition for commercial properties throughout Leicester 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 Leicester do you cover for schedule of condition?

We cover all of Leicester and East Midlands, including the city centre, the Cultural Quarter, Grove Park, Meridian Business Park and the M1 and M69 corridors. Instructions in this area are supported from our Birmingham Office.

Leicester sits close to the 'golden triangle' of Midlands logistics, so warehouse and distribution leases are common, alongside city centre retail and office space and older former textile buildings. Large industrial units usually carry full repairing obligations covering roofs, cladding, yards and floors.
