What Does A Commercial Property Inspection Include?
A commercial inspection involves taking a look at everything from the ground up. One of our certified commercial property inspectors will investigate all major components of the commercial building’s interior and exterior to ensure that things are working properly. This is an independent and objective analysis of your commercial structure to be sure that you receive the most accurate inspection reporting data possible. During a commercial inspection one of our experienced commercial property inspectors will review the following items:
Commercial Property Documentation
In addition to the building inspection, a commercial property inspector will review all relevant documents for the property. This might include any records pertaining to repairs and renovations, any records of building code violations, and any prior lease agreements or records of previous ownership. It’s important for those looking to purchase a property – as well as those who may be lending them the money to do so – that all of the property’s written documentation is intact and complete. This documentation can support the inspector’s notes on the property’s condition, especially as those relate to potential structural and systematic faults and disrepair.
The Final Inspection Report
Once the inspection is completed, the inspector will compile a final report. That report will include a detailed account of the walk-through survey, a listing of the documents that were obtained and reviewed, and any other pertinent information gathered during the inspection, whether from the aforementioned specialists or via interviews with anyone possessing useful information about the property. It’s important to note that there’s not a requirement for a final written commercial property inspection; a client can request that their hired inspector provide an oral report. For obvious reasons, it’s best to get the final report in writing, especially when dealing with an older property.
