BUILDING SURVEYING
Our comprehensive service is designed to help you maximise the value, condition, and use of your property
01.
DILAPIDATIONS
At Channel, we specialise in handling landlord & tenant dilapidations to ensure a smooth and cost-effective process for our clients. Dilapidations refer to the costs incurred by tenants when they exit their lease and are responsible for returning the property to its original condition.

BUILDING SURVEY
It is crucial to include a building survey as part of the acquisition process, whether you are buying a residential or commercial property or entering into a full repairing and insuring lease. By obtaining a building survey from a qualified building surveyor or a professional with appropriate credentials, clients can ensure they receive the best possible advice and secure tenure.
03.
SCHEDULE OF CONDITION
We highly recommend conducting a Schedule of Condition survey before signing a lease, or when working on common areas within a building that are not covered by a single lease. This survey serves as a vital record that can be referred to in the future to establish the previous condition of the premises, thereby avoiding disputes.
04.
PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
(PPM) Survey is an essential tool for effective asset management. It goes beyond simple maintenance tasks and offers a comprehensive approach to property management. By conducting a PPM survey, property owners and managers can gain valuable insights into the condition of their assets.

DEVELOPMENT MONITORING
When developers require external funding, a Monitoring Surveyor is appointed by the lender to evaluate and manage the risks involved in approving additional funds. Their role is vital in helping the lender comprehend the borrower's project plan and budget effectively.
06.
LICENCE TO ALTER
Obtaining a License to Alter is crucial when tenants plan to make changes to their leasehold property. It's a written approval from the landlord that allows for works or alterations during the tenancy. Failure to obtain this license may breach the lease agreement.
