Our surveyors are RICS members with experience gained at some of the UK’s largest property consultancies, delivered through a smaller practice with competitive fees, direct communication and faster turnaround times.
We know that property transactions and disputes can be difficult to navigate. From your first call or enquiry, you will deal directly with an experienced surveyor who will take the time to understand your situation and make sure you get the guidance you need.
Commercial Surveying Services in Chippenham
Chippenham’s commercial property market covers a broad range of building types and uses, from offices and retail units in the town centre around the High Street and Market Place, to the established business parks at Methuen Park and Bumpers Farm Industrial Estate.
Businesses at every stage have specific surveying needs that we are well placed to assist with.
Our Commercial Services Include:
Building Surveys & Technical Due Diligence: We provide a thorough assessment of the building’s condition, identify defects, give high-level repair cost estimates and review all relevant lease, planning and statutory documentation.
Dilapidations: dilapidations can be contentious for both sides of a lease. We prepare and serve schedules on behalf of landlords, and respond to and negotiate claims on behalf of tenants, with the aim of reaching a fair outcome for all parties.
Schedules of Condition: agreed on a fixed fee basis and delivered within 72 hours of inspection, our schedules of condition set an accurate baseline for the state of a property at the start of a lease, giving tenants a clear reference point for any future dilapidations claim.
Party Wall Surveying: Chippenham’s continued growth, with new commercial development across the town, means that party wall notices and disputes are a common part of construction projects. We act for both building owners and adjoining owners and offer free initial advice.
PPM Surveys: A planned preventative maintenance survey gives you a structured view of upcoming repair requirements and the costs involved.
Specific Defect Surveys: if you have a particular concern about a commercial property, whether that is suspected damp, structural movement, or something else, we can carry out a focused inspection and give you clear, practical advice.
Project Management & Contract Administration: we act on behalf of clients overseeing repairs, refurbishments and other construction works, managing contractors and administering contracts throughout.
