- Instructions and Brief
- This is extract from Schedule of Condition. The information shown below is partial and should be used for demonstration purpose only.
- Key objectives were identified as:
- Ground level: The northerly and western boundaries extending down towards the closest piers to the lamppost on the boundary local to the east elevation of BM House and extending for the first 2 bays to the expansion joint/cable tray that follows the curve of the platform above. Survey to include brick face to the approximate location marked on a plan. Survey to include all hard landscaping but not services or drainage up to the existing boundary. Survey to be from ground level only i.e. without ladder/platform lift access.
- Ground Level: To include where visible from street level the canopy/construction above to the western face.
- To inspect the structures to establish their visual condition.
- The premises were inspected on XX.XX.XXXX.
- Weather conditions were cold, windy, with sleet and snow on occasions, and overcast.

- Limitations
- This survey and report has been undertaken by a Professional Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and took the form of a visual non-destructive inspection and appraisal of each area form ground level only without the use of access equipment. A specialist cover survey of the structure was not instructed nor included as part of the survey and it’s not possible to comment on the structural integrity of areas surveyed.
- Unless specific arrangements were made beforehand, including obtaining the owner’s permission and the placing of instructions for appropriate operatives to be in attendance, all surveys would take the form of a non-destructive inspection.
- We were not able to inspect parts of the structures where we were denied access, or which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible or which required the lifting and moving of fixed items, and are therefore unable to confirm if each structure remains free from defects in such areas.
- We did not inspect flues, chimneys, voids, ducts or any parts of each structure which were in accessible without use of specialist equipment or which would cause excessive disturbance. We are therefore unable to report that these areas are free from defect.
- If we consider that our surveys were excessively limited due to any of the above, we will advise you accordingly and provide recommendations to enable a more detailed appraisal to be made.
- We did not carry out specialist tests or inspections to determine whether deleterious materials are present, or whether each site or any adjoining land is contaminated.
- Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the person responsible for the premises has a duty to ensure that any materials containing asbestos are managed safely. To enable this duty to be fulfilled it is necessary to be aware if the premises contain such material. Our survey did not include for the requisite surveys to appraise you of this information and you should engage a specialist surveyor to undertake this.
- We did not carry out any specialist inspections or tests of services installations and therefore all of the comments made in respect of these services will be made on the basis of a visual inspection only, undertaken in order to ascertain their general condition.
- Drains, hot and cold water, heating, lifts, gas, mechanical and electrical systems, air conditioning, telecommunications and computer installations and cabling received a visual inspection only, undertaken in order to ascertain their general condition.
