Commercial Property Inventories & Condition Reports
Independent, evidence-led reporting for smaller retail units, offices and light commercial premises across Lichfield and surrounding areas.
A clear record of commercial premises
Commercial properties benefit from the same thing residential properties do: a clear, factual record of condition, cleanliness, fixtures and fittings at a known point in time.
Barnes Property Services provides structured photographic inventories and condition reports for smaller commercial premises, giving landlords, tenants and managing agents an independent record to retain throughout the occupation.
Designed for smaller commercial properties
The service is best suited to straightforward premises where a detailed visual record is required rather than a specialist building survey.
Retail Units
Shopfronts, sales floors, counters, fixed shelving, stockrooms, staff areas, WCs and landlord-provided fixtures.
Small Offices
Workspaces, meeting rooms, kitchens, sanitary facilities, doors, windows, flooring, décor and fixed installations.
Light Commercial
Smaller workshops, studios and similar premises where a clear visual record of accessible areas and fixtures is needed.
Built around the premises in front of me
Commercial reporting follows the same evidence-led approach as residential work, but the scope is adapted to the property — from reception areas and offices to shopfronts, shutters, counters, stockrooms and staff facilities.
Structured, room-by-room and area-by-area reporting
The exact scope is agreed before attendance and adapted to the property. Typical reporting can include:
Fabric & Finishes
Ceilings, walls, floors, skirting, doors, windows, glazing and visible decorative condition.
Fixtures & Fittings
Lighting, sockets, switches, counters, fixed shelving, sanitary fittings, kitchen areas and other landlord-provided items.
Access & Ancillary Areas
Keys, shutters, entrances, stockrooms, staff areas, accessible meters and other agreed areas.
At the start, during or end of occupation
Initial Inventory / Condition Record
A detailed baseline record of the premises, condition and cleanliness at handover or the start of occupation.
Interim Condition Inspection
A factual mid-occupation record highlighting visible changes, maintenance concerns and the current condition of accessible areas.
End-of-Occupation Report
A comparative record at the end of occupation where a suitable original inventory or condition report is available.
Quoted individually
Commercial premises vary considerably in size, layout and reporting scope, so I don’t force them into a residential-style fixed tariff.
For smaller retail units, offices and straightforward light-commercial premises, send the address or postcode, approximate floor area if known, property type and the report required. I’ll confirm the agreed scope and a fixed price before booking.
Useful information to include
- Property address or postcode
- Approximate floor area if known
- Retail, office or other property type
- Report type required
- Any stockrooms, external areas or special fixtures to include
