Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide Schedule of Condition services in Sheffield?
Yes, we prepare Schedules of Condition for commercial properties throughout Sheffield 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.

Schedule of Condition for Sheffield commercial property
Sheffield's industrial heritage means a significant share of commercial space is in older workshop and manufacturing buildings, some converted for office, leisure or creative use in areas such as Kelham Island. Older industrial buildings can have roof, drainage and structural issues that should be recorded before a tenant takes on repairing obligations.
For tenants taking offices or converted industrial and workshop buildings in Sheffield, a photographic Schedule of Condition agreed before completion limits repairing liability to the condition recorded at the start of the lease.
