Lease Condition Reports
A Lease Condition Report provides an independent record of a property’s condition at the beginning or end of a lease. It is an essential document for both landlords and tenants, helping to establish responsibilities clearly and reduce the likelihood of disputes. Our reports are prepared by experienced, independent RICS-registered surveyors who offer clear, fair and reliable assessments.
What a Lease Condition Report Includes
A Lease Condition Report provides a detailed overview of the property’s physical condition. It documents the state of internal and external areas and highlights any existing damage, wear or defects. This gives both parties a shared understanding of the starting point or end point of the lease term.
The report typically covers:
- Internal walls, ceilings and floors
- Doors, windows and fixtures
- Kitchens, bathrooms and fitted units
- Evidence of damage or deterioration
- External elements such as brickwork, render and joinery
- Roof coverings visible from ground level
- Paths, boundaries and outbuildings
- Photographic evidence to support all findings
When a Lease Condition Report Is Needed
This report is beneficial in a range of situations, offering reassurance and clarity where responsibilities need to be clearly defined. It is commonly requested:
- Before a commercial or residential lease begins
- At the end of a lease when assessing potential dilapidations
- When tenants want an independent record to protect their position
- When landlords require evidence to support fair and accurate claims
- As part of planned property management or portfolio oversight
How the Report Helps
The report provides a clear and impartial overview that can be used as a reference throughout the lease period. It outlines the condition of the property at a specific point in time, helping to distinguish between existing issues and damage that may occur during the tenancy. This supports smoother discussions at check-in and check-out and helps both parties avoid unnecessary disputes.
