About Commercial Building Surveys
Commercial Building Surveys provide a comprehensive inspection of commercial properties including offices, retail units, industrial buildings and mixed use assets. They are typically commissioned before purchase, lease or major investment decisions.

The report provides clear advice on condition, repair priorities and potential liabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable before lease or purchase
Yes. A Commercial Survey is commonly commissioned before committing to a lease or purchase. It helps identify defects, maintenance liabilities and potential risks that could affect negotiations, future costs or lease responsibilities. Understanding the condition of the property at this stage allows informed decision making and reduces the risk of unexpected issues after completion.
What types of commercial properties do you inspect
We inspect a wide range of commercial buildings including offices, retail units, industrial properties, warehouses and mixed use developments. Each survey is tailored to the specific property type, use and construction to ensure relevant and practical advice is provided.
Does the survey include advice on repairs and maintenance
Yes. The report identifies defects and areas of deterioration and provides clear guidance on repair priorities, maintenance considerations and future liabilities. Where appropriate, further specialist investigations are recommended and explained.
Will the report provide an indication of future costs
Indicative repair and maintenance costs can be included to support budgeting, negotiation or investment planning. These figures are provided to give realistic insight into potential expenditure rather than precise contractor pricing.
Can I discuss the findings directly with the surveyor
Yes. We actively encourage post report discussions. Speaking directly with the surveyor allows you to fully understand the findings, ask questions and consider appropriate next steps before making any commercial decisions.
