Commercial building surveys in Cheshire

The overall condition of a building cannot be judged from an outside glance. Chester's Grade A office space and historic core sit apart from Warrington's logistics sites strung along the M6 and M62, while Macclesfield's pharmaceutical and science campuses, Crewe's rail and automotive-linked industrial buildings, and Northwich's legacy sites each have their own history. Treating all of it the same way is how problems get missed.

Our RICS-registered surveyors cover the county from our Manchester office, supporting property owners, investors, occupiers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners throughout Cheshire. The team is backed by the wider firm's 180 years of experience in commercial property.

Dilapidations are the repair and reinstatement obligations that arise under a commercial lease. Whether you are a landlord preparing a schedule of dilapidations or a tenant seeking to understand your liability at lease end, we assess the position clearly and negotiate on your behalf where required.

Schedule of condition

A schedule of condition records the precise state of a property at a specific point in time, most commonly at the start of a lease. The document limits a tenant's repair liability to no worse than the condition recorded, providing important protection throughout the lease term.

Dilapidations Pre Assessment

What property types can I book a commercial building survey for in Cheshire?

Our surveyors cover the full range of commercial stock across Chester, Warrington, Crewe, Macclesfield, and Northwich:

Offices

Chester's office stock centres on Grade A space aimed at professional and financial services occupiers, sitting alongside older buildings within the walled city centre. Roof coverings past their expected life and services that haven't kept pace with tenant fit outs are among the more frequent findings. 

Retail units

Much of the retail space across Chester, Northwich, and Crewe town centres has passed through several tenants and refits over the decades. Concealed alterations and ageing shopfronts can show up on inspection. A schedule of condition or dilapidations assessment gives those involved a shared, evidenced starting point.

Industrial and logistics buildings

Warrington's position on the M6, M56, and M62 has built one of the North West's largest concentrations of distribution and logistics space, while Northwich's chemical-sector sites bring older, heavier industrial stock into the mix. Cladding condition and floor loading capacity are often the elements inspected most heavily in these spaces.

Investment portfolios

An investment portfolio spread across Cheshire rarely features building constructed in the same era or way, and that inconsistency is exactly what makes portfolio-wide risk hard to see without a proper survey. Assessing every asset against the same standard, whatever its age or sector, ensures an informed judgement can be made.
