Prospective Tenant:

Mr Industrial

Repairing Covenant:

We have not seen a copy of the lease and we have therefore assumed the property has a full repairing and insuring covenant – or will have under the proposed lease. We have assumed it is a standard lease with no unusual or onerous clauses. Your Legal Adviser should confirm this and advise us of any unusual or onerous clauses immediately.

Photographs:

We typically take approximately 150 photographs during the course of a Schedule of Condition. We reserve the right to produce these photographs to establish the condition of the property over and above the ones included in the report.

Orientation:

All directions are taken as if viewing the property from the front.

There follows a detailed appraisal of the property, starting with the External and then looking at each room. The Schedule of Condition offers a detailed description of the condition of the property on the date of the survey.

We have not carried out formal investigations to establish if the property is Listed or in a Conservation Area; if it is it will require various permissions to be obtained before work is carried out over and above that normally required, and possibly the use of appropriate materials for the age, type and style of property.

The Schedule of Condition is to be read in conjunction with the Property Report.

EXTERNAL

ROOF COVERINGS AND UNDERLAYERS

Main Roof

Industrial roof imageWe had a limited view of the roof covering; our main view was of the gable end, which shows a coated profile metal sheeting, which is in average condition. We do feel there is some deterioration to the roof itself due to the amount of moss etc that we could see to the rear of the property and also on the skylights.

ACTION REQUIRED: The roof requires inspection before you legally commit to completing on this property.

ROOF STRUCTURE AND ROOF VOIDS (ALSO KNOWN AS ROOF SPACE OR ATTIC SPACE)

Main Roof

Cladding to the underside of the roofGenerally the roof is clad, therefore we could not see the actual structure in many areas.

However, within the office area behind the suspended ceiling we noted a metal structural frame that generally looked in average condition with no signs of rusting (in the limited areas we could view).

The main areas where deterioration can occur on this type of property is to the valley gutters, which is why we have recommended that they are inspected.

However, within the office area behind the suspended ceiling we noted a metal structural frame that generally looked in average condition with no signs of rusting (in the limited areas we could view).

The main areas where deterioration can occur on this type of property is to the valley gutters, which is why we have recommended that they are inspected.

GUTTERS AND DOWNPIPES

The gutters were not visible. We believe that there is a blockage to the valley gutter and also to the front downpipe along with corrosion and impact damage.

around the junction, indicating
there may be a blockage to the
rear downpipe too.

ACTION REQUIRED: You need to inspect the downpipes next time it is raining. You may need to add a rodding eye and rod into the drains.

WALLS

Cavity brick face walls in average condition. To the rear of the property there is moss staining to the brickwork, which requires cleaning.

FOUNDATIONS

We have not had any access or been able to view the foundations. There were no visual signs of defects within the wall structure at the time of our inspection.

EXTERNAL DECORATIONS

Mould to rear wall.The proprietary metal cladding has a factory pre-treated finish.

We believe the gutters are causing problems due to the mould visible to the rear of the property. Once the problem is resolved the bricks would benefit from being cleaned.

The doors and windows would also benefit from being cleaned.

EXTERNAL AREAS

Please note the focus of this report has been on the main building.

CAR PARKING

Car parkingThere is a brick paved area to the front of the building with three parking spaces marked out. The brick paviors are sinking and distorted.

There is a tarmacked access to the workshop area and there is some general vegetation where the tarmac access meets the brick paved area.

ACTION REQUIRED: Lift and re-bed paviors. Clear vegetation.

BOUNDARIES

BoundariesWe have not seen a set of the Deeds so we are not certain where the boundaries of the property are, however to the rear of the property there is a retaining wall. There is also a handrail, which we were advised was once around some steps from the car park above (not viewed).

We noted that the retaining wall has some movement cracks in it. You need to establish that this is not your responsibility.

ACTION REQUIRED: Your solicitor to establish that the rear retaining wall is not the responsibility of the Lessee.
