Photographic Schedule of Condition
Location:

Type of Construction:
Three-storey mid-terrace mixed-use property of traditional brick construction, with commercial accommodation at ground and basement levels and residential flats above.
WHL Building Consultancy prepared a comprehensive photographic Schedule of Condition for a three-storey mid-terrace mixed-use property in Northampton town centre in connection with a full repairing and insuring lease. The traditionally constructed brick building comprised a restaurant at ground-floor and basement levels with residential flats above. The instruction required an impartial visual record of the demised premises at the date of inspection, covering accessible internal and external areas and supporting the parties in defining their respective repair obligations.
The completed Schedule of Condition provided an accurate and verifiable record of the property’s state of repair at the start of the lease. Its coordinated photographic coverage clearly documented visible surfaces, fixtures and accessible areas across the mixed-use premises. This gave the landlord and tenant a transparent reference for future asset management, dilapidations and reinstatement matters, reducing the potential for disagreement over pre-existing condition and lease-end repair obligations.
