A Schedule of Condition is a detailed report about a building's structure, materials, and overall state of repair at a set point in time. These accurate records provide essential reference points when reviewing any subsequent changes.
A Schedule of Condition is typically included in a lease to minimise any later disputes about the property's condition when the tenancy started.
Schedule of Condition - key points
Usually towards the end of a commercial lease, a Schedule of Dilapidation is created on the landlord's behalf. This schedule details the current condition of the property and includes a list of items to be repaired by the tenant under the terms of the lease. It often includes an estimate of the costs of such remedial works.
A Schedule of Dilapidation may also be conducted during a tenancy to assess how well a property is being maintained and to issue repair notices if required.
