Protect your property interests with independent condition reports and property assessments
Understand a property's condition before you lease, buy, sell or occupy.
Knight Frank's RICS-qualified Building Consultants prepare independent condition reports for commercial and residential property. From Schedule of Condition Reports for lease negotiations to pre-purchase and tenancy condition reports, we document property condition, identify defects and provide photographic evidence to support informed property decisions.
Commercial property condition reporting
For commercial landlords, tenants, occupiers and property managers, a Schedule of Condition Report provides an agreed record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time - typically before lease commencement, fitout works or occupation.
These reports document existing defects and establish a baseline condition that may support future lease, make-good and dilapidation discussions.

- Fitout condition reports
- Commercial property condition assessments
- Defect identification and photographic records
- Support for make-good and dilapidation matters
Residential property condition reporting
We also provide independent condition reports for residential property, helping homeowners, vendors, purchasers and landlords understand a property’s condition before purchase, sale or tenancy.
Services include:
- Pre-purchase reports
- Building condition reports
