This type of report protects both the adjacent property owner and the developer recording current condition in report format with photographic record.

This condition survey report will again record with text and photographs all relevant defects etc. so as to protect the tenant in the event that a landlord serves a Schedule of Dilapidation’s on termination of the Lease.
