If you need a survey carried out on a commercial premises in Liverpool or anywhere in the UK, our commercial surveyors are able to do this for you. We have significant experience in this area, where we can assess the structure, value and commercial potential of a particular premises.

Commercial Property Valuation

Commercial property can be valued in a number of ways. Our surveyors can determine value based on bricks and mortar, or for a more detailed approach can employ techniques to analyse investment, development and business profits/opportunity to establish market value.

When commissioning a survey, choosing a surveyor with specific commercial experience will ensure you receive the most thorough and accurate assessment. At Cosey Homes, our professional teams work with a range of property types, including, but not limited to:

  • Offices
  • Shops and shopping centres
  • Food outlets
  • Residential developments
  • Farms and agricultural buildings
  • Vacant land

It is advisable to conduct a survey before any major works are undertaken, including extensions, renovations or demolitions. Even prior to a change of use application or tenancy agreement, a commercial valuation and survey can ensure you make the most profitable decisions for your development.

Commercial Property Survey

With regards to structural integrity, defect analysis for commercial properties is undertaken on a similar basis as for residential properties, with a bias towards commercial considerations. However, the construction methods used in commercial properties, including the use of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, requires slightly different attention than residential construction. Legislation is also stricter for commercial premises, so it is vital that you choose a surveyor to advise you appropriately.

The most suitable survey for your property depends on what you hope to learn from a professional report, and whether you are the current landlord, potential purchaser or prospective tenant.

Schedule of Condition

A schedule of condition is used to assess and record the physical state of a property at a given time. These are particularly useful for landlords or new tenants to establish the extent of existing damage and outline potential liability before signing a contract. This can save either party a significant amount of money and stress at the time of lease expiry.

A schedule of condition will contain photographic evidence and a detailed description of property features, to ensure the premises is left in the same condition as the beginning of the lease.

Schedule of Dilapidations

A dilapidations survey is used to identify any repairs that the vacating tenant is obliged to complete. Hiring a surveyor to assist with this can prove invaluable, as they can provide clear information about making a claim, and help to find an appropriate settlement between parties.

Why choose a Cosey Homes Chartered Surveyor?

We recently used Cosey Homes for a property survey and were very impressed with the service provided. The survey was arranged quickly, communication was clear throughout. The survey itself was thorough, detailed, and easy to understand, highlighting both major issues and areas that may require attention in the future. The findings gave us a much clearer understanding of the property's condition and helped us make informed decisions during the purchase process. Overall, a reliable and professional service that provided excellent value for money. I would happily recommend Cosey Homes to anyone purchasing a property.

I'm very happy with the service I received from Ian for my Level 3 Survey. His report was thorough, detailed and highlighted important issues that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. He also took the time to answer my follow-up questions in detail after the survey, providing clear explanations and helping me better understand his findings. This gave me a much clearer picture of the property's condition and what needed further investigation before proceeding with the purchase. I really appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to help. I would happily recommend his services!

We recently had a Level 3 Building Survey carried out and couldn’t be happier with the service we received! We dealt with Sadie over the phone, who was always so polite, friendly and helpful. Philip carried out our survey and was incredibly thorough and detailed. He provided so much useful information and really took the time to cover everything, which gave us great peace of mind. Our survey was carried out on the Wednesday and we received the full report by Monday, which was an amazing turnaround compared to other companies we had looked into! Fantastic service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend! 😊

Excellent service on a tight deadline We needed a retrospective RICS Red Book valuation of our London flat for a Right to Buy District Valuer case, with barely two weeks to the submission deadline. Cosey Homes delivered from start to finish. Kit Lam responded to our enquiry the same day, asked the right questions about the brief and kept us updated throughout. Hugh Barber inspected the property within days and produced a thorough, well-reasoned report four days ahead of the promised date. The report covered everything in our instruction: the retrospective valuation date, the statutory basis, comparable evidence including a same-block sale, and clear reasoning behind the figure. The quality control from the wider team, including Anthony who followed up afterwards, was a nice touch. A professional firm doing exactly what they promise, when they promise it, at a fair price. We would use Cosey Homes again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone needing a specialist valuation under time pressure. Muhammad & Sania, London E16
