Why Should I Have a Commercial Building Survey?

A Commercial Building Survey, sometimes called a Condition Survey, is the most in-depth and comprehensive report available for commercial property and provides a detailed picture of the property’s construction and condition.

With a Commercial Building Survey, an RICS qualified surveyor carries out a thorough inspection of the property, complimented by a detailed report of the inspection. By opting for a Commercial Building Survey, you can be sure you’re receiving an impartial assessment of the property from Dunham Hale Chartered Surveyors and that your allocated surveyor will adhere to industry best practice standards and provide advice on the relevant legislation applicable and the defects to the property. This will allow you to make an informed decision as to the cost of any repairs and allow you to renegotiate on the property or walk away altogether.

Whilst we offer a standalone Commercial Building Survey, you can also opt for our add-on service of a detailed walkthrough of the issues using our Bespoke Client Surveying Service, which is about more than just the survey report. We provide the one-one care and advice as your personal surveyor and help you make an informed decision.

Why Is a Commercial Survey More Expensive?

Commercial surveys typically involve larger, more complex buildings. They take longer to inspect and report on, and may require additional considerations such as plant and machinery, roof access, or service installations. As a result, survey costs are higher, but the information they provide is essential to protecting your investment.
