Our team of RICS chartered building surveyors provide pre-lease advice services for occupiers in all sectors across the UK.
We have a multi-disciplinary approach to our pre-lease advisory service and can tap into our own in-depth market data as well as our in-house highly experienced professional services team to add value to what we deliver for our customers.
If you intend to lease a commercial building, you will be aware that the onus is on you to undertake maintenance and repairs to the property, so before costs can be calculated or a lease agreement negotiated, getting pre-lease advice services is a good idea to save you costs during the lease term and when the inevitable dilapidations claim is received at lease expiry.
But beyond advice, a Schedule of Condition documenting the condition of the building before the lease begins can be a valuable tool in limiting a tenant’s liability for repairs and reducing exit costs.

Explore our case studies to see how Innes England’s expertise has successfully guided clients across various sectors in the property market.
The Challenge: When a 30,000 sq ft former school site in Nottingham went into administration, Innes England were initially appointed to provide an accurate market valuation and were subsequently instructed to dispose of the site. The property’s specialist educational use meant it required a targeted marketing approach to reach the most relevant operators and investors. The client needed clear, evidence-based advice and a well-structured sales strategy to achieve best value within a competitive, but niche market.
The Challenge: Marchdown Holdings undertook a comprehensive refurbishment of six trade counter units at Limesquare Trade Park to reposition the estate as a modern, attractive location for occupiers. The landlord required swift and effective marketing of the refurbished units to secure new tenants and demonstrate early success at the scheme.
