INSTRUCTION AND INTRODUCTION
We have been instructed to inspect and prepare a Report and Schedule of
Condition for XXXX Lewisham, London. SE13 XXX regarding reviewing the
condition of the exterior of the property and the communal areas and to advise
with regard to maintenance.
As instructed and agreed this report has been time limited and as such there
are limitations to this report in various ways from the research carried out to
the level of detail we would normally go into.
The Property Report gives you advice on what we see are the key property
issues. We have also prepared a Schedule of Condition in relation to the
property although we have not seen copies of the lease or read any other
material in conjunction with this property. We inspected the property on
XXXX
We assume for the purposes of the Schedule of Condition that the property is
being let on a standard lease and Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST’s) and
that any unusual or onerous clauses will be brought to our attention by
yourselves or a solicitor as soon as possible in writing.
The work has been carried out as per our standard Terms and Conditions of
Contract which have been emailed to you as part of the confirmation of our
instructions. If you would like further clarification please do not hesitate to
contact us.

SYNOPSIS
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
(All directions given as you face the property from the front)
From what we understand you have recently purchased the property and are
concerned regarding the general condition and wish to instigate repair work.
We also understand your particular concerns are the dampness which you
advise is occurring to the ground floor flats.
We have had limited access to the properties detailed in the main body of the
report.
We are advised that building nineteen is divided into four flats and is a four
storey property. The flying freehold flat links number seventeen with number
nineteen and is outside of your ownership with a passageway beneath giving
access to car park.
We have not viewed the interior of any of the flats.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Summaries are not ideal as they try to précis often quite complex subjects
into a few paragraphs. This is particularly so in a summary about someone’s
future business when we are trying to second-guess what your priorities are, so
it is important the Report is read in full.
It is inevitable with a report on a building of this nature that some of the issues
we have focussed in on you may dismiss as irrelevant and some of the areas
that we have decided are part of the ‘character’ of this property you may think
are very important. We have taken in the region of 200 photographs (a CD
copy of all photographs is enclosed) during the course of this survey and many
pages of notes, so if an issue has not been discussed that you are interested in
or concerned about, please phone and talk to us as we will more than likely
have noted it and be able to comment upon it. If we have not we will happily
go back. Having said all of that, here are our comments:
Unfortunately we have to start with a caveat that the reports are time limited to
meet your budget requirements. We would also add that the reports have been
carried out from a ground level external view which has limited our view of
some of the high level areas such as the chimneys and gutters and of course we
literally cannot see some areas such as the flat roof and pitched roof.
We would comment that generally as you are aware there has been a lack of
maintenance to the property as a whole for many years. We would also
comment that the work that has been carried out in the past we would term as
inappropriate for this age, type and style of property although we would add
we do see the type of errors that have occurred on this property fairly
regularly.
We have listed the main areas of work below and would also refer you to our
Schedule of Condition which is an item by item breakdown. We would advise
with this type of repair, maintenance and refurbishment work problems are
found as the work progresses and it is normal to have a twenty to thirty percent
(20%-30%) contingency on the builders estimate together with PC sums -
prime cost sums where a sum is set aside for an anticipated problem.

EXTERNAL
1.0) High level work – chimneys and roofs
The roofs have been viewed from ground level which has limited our
view. A roof level inspection is recommended. For this age, type and
style of property we would typically expect there to be problems
particularly to the relatively large flat roof areas.
We would also add that the insulation levels are unlikely to meet current
requirements or future requirements which it is said will be compulsory
for landlords to carry out either directly or by their tenants (which is yet
to be agreed).
We noted that there is a lean to the chimneys and require a close
inspection.

2.0) External joinery – fascias and soffits and windows and doors
There has been a general lack of
maintenance to the point where now it
may be more economical to replace
completely rather than repair.
3.0) Gutters, downpipes and waste pipes
Gutters, downpipes and waste pipes
can be seen to be leaking in areas and
unsecured.
ACTION REQUIRED: A
general overhaul is required.
4.0) Dampness
We note that a damp proof course has
been added to XXXX. Unfortunately
we believe that the lower ground floor
dampness situation is still taking place.
We believe a better solution would be to
have a proper French drain to be added
to ensure the rainwater travels away
from the structure together with
ensuring the appropriate materials have
been used for the render and plastering
of the walls internally and externally.

Please note that we have only viewed this from the exterior of the
property and have been advised that there is dampness internally.
5.0) Surface Condensation, Interstitial Condensation and Black Mould
We could see condensation occurring to some of the windows from our
exterior view. In our experience condensation such as this normally
relates to a lack of air circulation and extraction of humid air within
flats.
ACTION REQUIRED: We would recommend that large
humidity controlled extract fans are added throughout the
buildings. This will need to be to all flats as to have some flats
that are not having the humidity extracted as quickly as possible
will then mean they may cause problems to other flats. The
problems of surface condensation, mould and interstitial
condensation have to be thought of with regard to the building as
a whole.
We also noted that plastic double glazed windows have been added
without trickle vents and therefore there is limited air movement.
Trickle Vents Defined
Small vents to the windows to
allow air movement inside the
property to stop a build up of
fumes or humidity.

14
We would always recommend that
trickle vents are added retrospectively
and any future window
repairs/replacements have trickle vents
added.
6.0) Security and Fire Alarm systems
The current entry door system we believe would
benefit from being improved. We generally
recommend closed circuit TV entry security
systems on properties such as these which can be
combined with a wireless fire alarm system
throughout the property.
7.0) Energy efficiency
There is a general drive for more energy efficient buildings and we
understand that there is likely to be legislation regarding leased
properties. We believe that the government is in consultation with the
various professional and interest groups at the present time. This could
lead to a future requirement for an energy efficiency rating on all leased
properties and this would in turn mean added insulation to buildings
such as this to the flat roof areas and to the dormer roofs together with
energy efficient boilers etc. etc.
8.0) General tidying up of exterior
For want of a better expression there are various areas where there has
been damage such as the gas meter cupboards and historic wiring which
has been left in place as well as areas where the repairs have been of a
poor quality.

INTERIOR – communal areas only
9.0) Ceilings and walls
Generally the decoration standard is below
average to what we typically see.
ACTION REQUIRED: We would
recommend redecoration or the change of
the decorated woodchip wallpaper to
perhaps a hard tile for a longer lasting
finish.

items as a notice board for occupiers and a post box are added.
10.0) Fire Alarm System
10.1) A fire alarm system is required.
ACTION REQUIRED: We would recommend an integrated
fire alarm system for a multi occupied property such as this.
We are a strong believer that where properties are multi occupied,
i.e. there are more than one resident or tenancy, that the fire alarm
system should be interconnected alerting any of the properties if
there is a fire anywhere within the building.
In addition to this there should be regular fire alarm drills.
We would recommend, for your own safety, that additional smoke
detectors be installed.
We would always recommend a hard wired fire alarm system and
are also aware that some now work from a wireless signal which
may be worth investigating. Whilst fire is relatively rare it is in a
worst case scenario obviously devastating.
10.2) Other fire matters
As we have not had access to the properties we are not aware whether
the doors that lead onto the staircase are fire doors from a fire resistant
point of view and also if they have door closures. It is essential that
these doors are fire doors as this stops a chimney-like effect when a fire
spreads from one floor to the next.
11.0) Cyclical/Planned Maintenance and Reactive / Day-to-Day
Maintenance
11.1) Cyclical/Planned Maintenance
We would recommend a programme of Cyclical/Planned maintenance is
agreed between the occupiers and the landlords over the next ten years

17
and then a sinking fund budget can be built up for any such major works
as with this age, type and style of building there will be an increasing
need to carry out maintenance work particularly to the large flat roof
areas. Also with increasing legislation this brings the need and
requirement to generally upgrade the buildings.
We would also ensure that test and records as well as action are taken
with regard to such items as the electrical installation throughout.
11.2) Drainage
We would recommend a closed circuit TV camera report on the
condition of the drains is carried out if one is not already available.
11.3) Reactive / Day-to-Day Maintenance
We would also recommend that a budget is set up for reactive / day-to-
day maintenance is set up where it affects other parties within the
property as well as the need for urgent repair.
12.0) The Lease
The quality of the lease needs to be discussed with your Legal Advisor and
understood. You need to understand your rights, responsibilities and liabilities
from a legal point of view when you sign for a lease of this nature.
We ask that your Legal Advisor brings any onerous or unusual clauses to your
and our attention immediately. For the purpose of this report we have assumed
this is a standard Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) Lease or an Assured
Shorthold Tenancies (AST’s).

Other Items
Services
We have spoken earlier about the services but we do need to mention that this
survey does not include any specialist reports on the electricity supply and
circuits, heating or drainage, as they were not requested. As you already own
the buildings you may be aware of problems that we are not and these should
be highlighted to your Legal Advisor and form part of the Schedule of
Condition; we are happy to change this if you so wish. The comments that
follow are based upon a visual inspection carried out as part of the overall
Survey.
Services and specialist installations have been visually inspected. It is
impossible to examine every detail of these installations without partially
dismantling the structure. Tests have not been applied. Conclusive tests can
only be undertaken by suitably qualified contractors. The vendor/seller should
be requested to provide copies of any service records, test certificates and,
ideally, the names and addresses of the installing contractors.
The owner/landlord/last lessee should provide you with tests and reports in
relation to:
1. Electrics – An Institute of Electrical Engineers standards (IEE)
test and report to be carried out by an NICEIC registered and
approved electrical contractor or equivalent.
2. Space heating inspection and test report (you need to see these in
working order)
3. Asbestos report with samples.
4. Drainage – closed circuit TV camera report.
5. Anything specific to this particular unit.
If these have not been carried out then you will need to have these carried out.

The Summary Upon Reflection is a second summary so to speak, which is
carried out when we are doing the second or third draft a few days after the
initial survey when we have had time to reflect upon our thoughts on the
property. We would add the following in this instance:
We would advise that we have not looked at any literature in relation to this
property; knowledge has come from our discussions with yourselves.
We recommend that you have meetings and negotiations with occupiers and
owners of the property based upon the findings within this report.
We would ask that you read this Property Report and the Schedule of
Condition and contact us on any issues that you require further clarification on.

REPORT FORMAT AND INFORMATION
To help you understand our Report we utilise various techniques and different
styles and types of text, these are as follows:
ACTION REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We have used the term ACTION REQUIRED where we believe that there
are items that you should carry out action upon or negotiate upon prior to
purchasing the Lease.
Where a problem is identified, we will do our best to offer a solution.
However, with most building issues, there are usually many ways to resolve
them dependent upon cost, time available and the length of time you wish the
repair/replacement to last.
EVERY BUSINESS TRANSACTION HAS A RISK
Every business transaction has a risk, only you can assess whether that risk is
acceptable to you and your circumstances.
SOLICITOR/LEGAL ADVISOR
To carry out your legal work you can use a solicitor or a legal advisor. We
have used both terms within the report.
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT/LIMITATIONS

LIMITATIONS
CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
The report has been prepared in accordance with our Conditions of
Engagement dated XXXX and should be regarded as a comment on the overall
condition of the property and the quality of its structure and not as an
inventory of every single defect. It relates to those parts of the property that
were reasonably and safely accessible at the time of the inspection, but you
should be aware that defects can subsequently develop particularly if you do
not follow the recommendations.
ENGLISH LAW We would remind you that this report should not be published or reproduced in
any way without the surveyor’s expressed permission and is governed by
English Law and any dispute arising there from shall be adjudicated upon only
by the English Courts.
SOLE USE
This report is for the sole use of the named Client and is confidential to the
Client and his professional advisors. Any other persons rely on the Report at
their own risk.
ONLY HUMAN!
Although we are pointing out the obvious, our Surveyors obviously can’t see
through walls, floors, heavy furniture, fixed kitchen units etc. they have
therefore made their best assumptions in these areas.
As this is a one off inspection, we cannot guarantee that there are no other
defects than those mentioned in the report and also that defects can
subsequently develop.

WEATHER
It was an dull and overcast day at the time of the inspection. The weather did
not hamper the survey.
NOT LOCAL
It should be noted that we are not local surveyors to this area and are carrying
out the work without the benefits of local knowledge on such things as soil
conditions, aeroplane flight paths, and common defects in materials used in the
area etc.
INSPECTION LIMITED
Unfortunately in this instance our inspection has been very limited due to:-
1) We have had a limited view of the property from the exterior at ground
level.
2) We have had a limited view of the interior communal areas viewing only
the entrance hallway and stairs.
BUILDING INSURANCE
We do not advise with regard to building insurance. You need to make your
own enquiries. Some areas may have a premium, some buildings may have a
premium and some insurers may be unwilling to insure at all in certain areas.
You need to make your own enquires prior to committing to purchase the
property. Please be aware the fact a building is currently insured does not mean
it can be re insured.
We would comment that non-insurability of a building we feel will affect lease
value.
ACTION REQUIRED: You need to ensure that the leaseholders have
adequate insurance.
