Commercial Business Surveys in Solihull

Commercial and industrial building surveys are designed to provide potential purchasers and leaseholders with a clear understanding of the condition of a property before taking on any obligations.

We conduct commercial surveys on a wide range of properties in Solihull, including warehouses, restaurants, high street shops, offices, and more.

The insights gained from these surveys offer a valuable foundation for building occupiers and managers, helping them plan for future maintenance if the acquisition proceeds.

Pre-Acquisition Surveys

Easton Bevins offers a full range of commercial property surveys and can advise on which type of survey will best meet your needs.

Schedule of Condition

Typically carried out at the start of a commercial lease, a schedule of condition covers the condition of a property and serves to limit the Tenant’s obligations or liability for repairs.

We have negotiated dilapidations on properties ranging from small retail units to industrial estates, national supermarkets and office blocks.

Specific Defect Survey

If you are having specific problems within your property, or issues have been identified during a pre-acquisition survey or routine inspection, we can assist.

Reinstatement Cost Assessment

RCAs are generally made on the basis of total loss, or of such substantial damage that the building requires demolition and rebuilding.

Commercial Valuations

A commercial property valuation is carried out to determine the value of a premises that is used for business purposes. It is different from a residential valuation and must be carried out by a RICS accredited surveyor.
