Commercial building surveys across Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire's commercial property market is shaped by the strength of its knowledge economy. Oxford draws technology, life sciences, and professional services occupiers alongside a significant academic and research presence. Bicester and Didcot have grown as employment centres in their own right, while Banbury and Witney serve more traditional market town economies with a mix of offices, retail, and industrial stock. Across that range, the condition and construction history of buildings need thorough professional assessment.

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. Call 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete our contact form to arrange a no-obligation consultation.

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 Oxfordshire?

From Oxford's city centre offices and research facilities to the retail and industrial stock of Banbury, Bicester, Witney, and Didcot, our surveyors cover the full breadth of Oxfordshire's commercial property:

Offices

Oxfordshire's office market is anchored by Oxford, where demand from life sciences, technology, and professional services occupiers sits alongside a significant volume of older converted and purpose-built stock.

Survey requirements vary considerably across these building generations, and our reports reflect both current condition and the specific purpose of each instruction.

Retail units

Retail premises range from Oxford's city centre and covered markets to the high streets of Banbury, Witney, and Bicester, as well as the out-of-town retail at Bicester Village and surrounding schemes.

Building age and format differ significantly across these settings. We assess structural condition, servicing, and compliance thoroughly on every instruction.

Industrial and logistics buildings

Oxfordshire's industrial and logistics stock is spread across established employment areas in Didcot, Banbury, and Bicester, with good access to the M40 and A34 supporting distribution activity across the wider region.

Our surveyors assess structural frame, cladding, floor loadings, and yard provision with the depth that industrial assets require.

Investment portfolios

Oxfordshire's strong economic fundamentals attract both institutional and private investors to its commercial investment market.

For clients managing assets across Oxford, the market towns, or both, we deliver consistent and professionally produced survey outputs across every property in a portfolio, regardless of asset type or size.
