Table of contents
Cornwall's commercial property market is defined by its geography as much as its economy. Tourism dominates, but the county also supports a growing technology and creative sector, a significant food and drink industry, and a marine and engineering base concentrated around Falmouth.
Older buildings are prevalent throughout, from Victorian terraces converted to offices in Truro to coastal hospitality stock in St Ives, Penzance, and Newquay. That combination of older fabric and sector diversity makes thorough survey work particularly important here.
Our RICS-registered surveyors work with property owners, investors, occupiers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners across the county, supported by our national network and 180 years of experience in commercial property.

A thorough assessment of a commercial property's condition, identifying structural defects, maintenance requirements, and potential liabilities. We inspect accessible elements of the building and provide a detailed report to support your purchase, lease, or investment decision.
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.
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.
A measured survey produces accurate floor plans, elevations, and sections of a building for use in design, development, or asset management. Our surveyors capture detailed spatial data on site, delivering drawings to the specification and scale your project requires.
From Truro's city centre offices and retail to the hospitality and leisure stock of Newquay, St Ives, and Penzance, and the marine and industrial premises of Falmouth, our surveyors cover the full breadth of Cornwall's commercial property:
Office premises in Cornwall are concentrated largely in Truro, where professional services, public sector, and technology occupiers are based. The stock includes converted period buildings alongside more modern purpose-built space, and building age brings particular survey considerations around structural fabric, services condition, and energy performance. Our surveyors assess each building on its own terms.
Cornwall's retail market is heavily influenced by seasonal tourism, and nowhere more so than in St Ives, Penzance, and Newquay. High footfall in summer and quieter winters shape both the occupier profile and the physical demands placed on buildings.
Older coastal stock in particular warrants careful assessment of condition, damp, and structural integrity before any acquisition or lease commitment.
Cornwall's industrial and logistics stock is limited in scale but strategically important to the county's economy. Falmouth's deep-water port supports marine engineering and ship repair activity, while general industrial and trade premises serve local distribution and construction needs across the county.
Our surveyors assess structural integrity, cladding, and operational suitability with the same rigour applied to larger-scale industrial instructions.
Cornwall attracts investors drawn by its tourism appeal and the relative affordability of commercial assets compared to other South West locations. For clients managing investment assets across the county, whether hospitality, retail, or mixed-use, we deliver consistent and professionally produced survey outputs that give investors a reliable basis for their decisions.
Whether your property is a Truro office, a Newquay hospitality premises, a Falmouth marine facility, or a coastal retail unit in St Ives or Penzance, our surveyors have the experience and credentials to deliver. Wherever in the county your instruction sits, we can help.
