Commercial Clients
Commercial property can be complex, whether it involves leasing, purchasing, ongoing maintenance or planned works. As Chartered Surveyors covering Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole and the surrounding areas.
Sutherland Surveyors works closely with managing agents, landlords, tenants and investors to provide clear, practical, professional advice at every stage of the property lifecycle.
For landlords, services such as Schedules of Dilapidations and Schedules of Condition ensure lease obligations are properly documented and enforceable. These reports clearly document the property's condition and define each party's responsibilities from the outset. For tenants, they provide essential protection against unfair claims for defects or repairs that predate occupation. This balanced, professional approach gives both sides clarity and confidence.
Investors and property owners also benefit from detailed commercial building surveys carried out by Chartered Surveyors. These surveys provide a comprehensive assessment of a property’s condition, identifying both immediate defects and longer-term maintenance considerations. Reports are photo-rich and include clear, practical recommendations, helping clients plan work, manage risk and budget effectively. Where a single concern needs investigation - such as water ingress, structural movement, or roof defects - a specific defect survey offers a focused, cost-effective solution.
Commercial clients also rely on reinstatement cost assessments to ensure insurance cover accurately reflects the true cost of rebuilding. Inaccurate assessments can leave properties under-insured or unnecessarily over-insured, both of which carry financial risk. By combining technical expertise with strong local knowledge of Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole's commercial property stock, Sutherland Surveyors helps clients protect their assets, avoid disputes and make informed, commercially sound decisions.
