Property Condition Surveys, Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) & Asset Management
Chartered Building Surveying services in Portsmouth and Hampshire. Building surveys, defect diagnosis, damp investigations, project management, schedules of condition and property inspections.
A Property Condition Report helps provide a clear understanding of a property's current condition and future maintenance requirements. It also demonstrates a proactive approach to managing and maintaining your property. The condition assessment and maintenance is a focused approach and identifies building defects, moisture ingress, ventilation issues, maintenance liabilities and lifecycle considerations.Â
Â
Understanding the Condition of Your PropertyÂ
Â
The first step in protecting any property is understanding its condition.Â
Â
A Property Condition Report provides:Â
-
A visual inspection of the propertyÂ
-
Identification of visible defectsÂ
-
Damp and moisture observationsÂ
-
Ventilation observationsÂ
-
Photographic evidenceÂ
-
Repair recommendationsÂ
-
Maintenance prioritiesÂ
Â
This helps owners understand what requires attention now, what can be monitored and what may require future budgeting.Â
By identifying issues early, property owners can often reduce the likelihood of more expensive repairs later. Â
Â
Asset Register & Compliance and Risk Management Log
Â
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe and habitable accommodation.Â
Â
Regular condition assessments can assist with identifying visible concerns that may affect:Â
-
Asset log
-
Health and safety risksÂ
-
Fire safety measuresÂ
-
Emergency lighting
-
Fire door checks
-
ComplianceÂ
-
Service chare tasks
Â
Asset record demonstrates that the property is being monitored and maintained responsibly.Â
For landlords, this can provide useful evidence that reasonable steps are being taken to identify and manage property related risks before they become more serious issues. Good property management requires consideration of legal obligations, property condition and asset maintenance. Â
Â
Planned Preventive Maintenance Â
Â
Many owners only become aware of maintenance costs when something fails.Â
Â
This helps clients:Â
-
Forecast future expenditureÂ
-
Budget more effectivelyÂ
-
Prioritise repairsÂ
-
Extend the life of building componentsÂ
-
Reduce reactive maintenanceÂ
-
Support investment decisionsÂ
​
