A Condition Schedule is prepared when it is important to know the state of a building at a particular point in time.  It provides no information as to the cause of defects, but rather records the superficial evidence for defects. 

Schedules of Condition are often prepared for attachment to leases where the repairing obligations are limited by such a Schedule.  They are also necessary in advance of building work, where it is thought possible that the work might cause physical damage to an adjoining property.  Provision of such Schedules has now become standard under The Party Wall etc. Act for major building works in the vicinity of Party Walls.

We can prepare Schedules of Condition with photographs and provide copies as required to all the relevant parties.  The quality of our scheduling work will soon become apparent in relation to party wall matters, but where a lease is involved it may only show its true value at the end of the term.  In either case, there is considerable scope for saving money through the mechanism of a Schedule of Condition.
