What is a schedule of condition?

A schedule of condition is a report outlining the condition of a property at a certain point in time. It is strongly recommended for party wall matters, before neighbouring construction works, or before incoming tenants take occupation.

The report will include a detailed photographic and written record of the property’s condition. It does not make any comments on the cause of any defects, or make recommendations for remedial actions, but instead acts as a record of facts.

Our RICS Chartered Surveyors have undertaken hundreds of schedules of condition across London and the South East and meticulously record the condition both in writing and photographic form.

Why get a Schedule of Condition for a property in Bromley?

By providing a detailed snapshot of the condition of a property at a certain time, schedules of condition protect both owners. They make it easier for adjoining owners to prove that damage was caused by the works being undertaken next door, and they protect the person carrying out the work from false claims of damage. Some benefits of a schedule of condition include:

Protection against claims of damage – If you are carrying out construction work, a schedule of condition is the best way to protect against unscrupulous claims of damage being made by a neighbouring property owner for which you could end up paying £1,000s, even if it wasn’t your fault. A schedule of condition protects you against this.
Protection of your own property – If the owner of a neighbouring property is carrying out work, a schedule of condition of your own property will make it far easier to prove that they have caused damage.
Party Wall Matters – If your neighbour is carrying out work under the Party Wall Act, then it is important to have a schedule of condition of your property done before the works start. This is because the types of works covered in the Party Wall Act are those which are most likely to cause damage to neighbouring properties.
Incoming tenants, lessees, or occupiers – If you have incoming occupiers in your property, then is is essential to have a record of the property’s condition undertaken before they take occupation. This protects you from claims that any damage they cause pre-existed their occupation of the property, and makes it far easier to recoup money for any damages caused.
