Need to record a property’s condition before construction works begin concerning a party wall?
A Schedule of Condition provides a clear written and photographic record of the adjoining property before work begins. This includes any cracks or pre work existing damage.
The report protects both parties from future potential damages.
Organising a Schedule of Condition
Party Wall Schedule of Condition
A Schedule of Condition is a report that outlines the condition of a property at a certain point in time.
It is strongly recommended in regard to party wall matters before any construction begins.
The Schedule of Condition Report typically includes detailed photographic evidence and written records of the property’s condition, serving only as a record of facts rather than a survey that makes recommendations for remedial action.
Our surveyors have undertaken hundreds of Schedules of Condition across Surrey and South West London and have mediated many disputes.

Why You Need a Condition Report Before Building Works
A Schedule of Condition will protect your interests against false claims of damage, protecting you in the event that an adjoining property is damaged after works are complete.
- Protection from claims of damage: A neighbouring property owner could make unscrupulous claims of damage, which could result in your paying thousands, even if it wasn’t your fault. So, a Schedule of Condition will protect from you this, ensuring your bases are covered.
- Party Wall Matters: If your neighbour plans to carry out work under the Party Wall Act, then a Schedule of Condition will be an important part of the process, as the type of works covered are those, which are most likely to cause damage.
- See our Resources for valuable sites that save you time and money.
