Our Commercial Surveying Services
Our commercial property surveyors in Somerset help clients understand building condition, repair risk, lease responsibilities, planned works, defects and landlord and tenant matters.
Commercial Property Across Somerset
Somerset includes a wide range of commercial property, from offices, shops and hospitality premises to workshops, warehouses, rural business units, industrial buildings and mixed-use premises.
This means the right advice depends on the building itself, how it is used and the decision being made.
- A business owner or investor may need a commercial building survey in Somerset before committing to a purchase or major works.
- A tenant taking a new lease may need a schedule of condition in Somerset to record the state of the premises before occupation.
- A landlord may need dilapidations advice in Somerset before or after lease end.
The aim is to make the property position clearer before costs, responsibilities or negotiations become harder to manage.

Share the address, the type of property, the service you are considering and any lease, purchase, repair or deadline concerns.
Agree the scope and fee
Before the work proceeds, the scope and fee are confirmed so you know what will be reviewed and what the advice will cover.

Where an inspection is required, the property is reviewed in line with the agreed scope. The findings are then set out in a practical format that focuses on the issues most relevant to your decision.
Discuss the findings
After the advice is issued, our commercial surveyors can talk through the findings so you can understand everything involved.
