Commercial building surveys in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire's commercial property stretches from converted shoe factories in Northampton's town centre to warehouses that went up last year off the A45 and A5. Understanding a building means knowing which of those eras it belongs to before you set foot inside.

Our surveyors are based in Northampton and work into Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, and Daventry for property owners, developers, occupiers, funders, and insolvency practitioners who need a clear read on a building before they commit to it. That local expertise is backed by a national practice with more than 180 years of experience behind it.

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.

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

Our surveyors handle every type of commercial building across Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, and Daventry:

Offices

In Kettering's older office stock, M&E services and roof coverings are often past their expected life. In Northampton, where business park units sit alongside adapted town-centre buildings, the issue is more often paperwork. Either way, a survey ahead of exchange or lease completion puts the real picture on the table before you're committed to it.

Retail units

In Wellingborough and Corby, older retail premises roof coverings can be patched rather than properly replaced, and shopfront alterations carried out without building control sign-off are two findings that can come up often. For a landlord setting lease terms or a tenant weighing up a fit-out, knowing that in advance changes the conversation.

Industrial and logistics buildings

Daventry's growth around the DIRFT rail freight terminal has produced some of the newest large-span industrial and logistics buildings in the county, built for the M1 and A5 corridor trade. Cladding condition and floor loading capacity needs to be checked for these types of buildings. 

Investment portfolios

Clients with investment portfolios across Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, and Daventry are rarely managing property of a single age or type, and an inconsistent survey history across a portfolio leaves gaps in what you know you own. We assess every asset to the same standard regardless of age or use, so decisions about the portfolio as a whole rest on figures that can be compared like for like.

  • Every instruction is carried out under RICS accreditation, the standard lenders, solicitors, and other parties to a transaction expect to see.

  • A positive track record built across commercial surveying instructions nationwide.
  •  Feedback from property owners, investors, and occupiers that reflects the standard of our reports and how we conduct ourselves on site.
