26 Sep The Benefits of a Warehouse Condition Report
When you’re moving your business into a new warehouse, you need to be as informed as possible about the condition of your new space.
It’s the engine room of your business, and to neglect properly investigating the state of the warehouse before moving in could have disastrous consequences.
This is why you need a warehouse condition report.
A condition report helps you to understand how you’ll need to maintain the property up until you vacate.
It also documents the condition that the premises must be in when returned to the landlord.
We offer detailed warehouse condition reports at excellent rates, and our expertise is second to none, with a variety of specialist consultants on hand to assess your property.
Here are just a few of the benefits of a warehouse condition report.
Accurate Assessment
When you’re making such an important investment, you need to have an accurate assessment of the property.
Basically, you need to be as informed as possible about the condition of each aspect of your new warehouse.
This includes the flooring, walls, roof, wet areas and office space, as well as any other part of the structure. It’s necessary to be thorough, so that nothing is missed.
If you move in to the new property and a problem with the warehouse is discovered later, it could be a huge blow to your business in terms of time and money.
For example, unforeseen repairs may see your warehouse closed down for a short time, completely disrupting the operation of your company.
Examples of issues that could easily be avoided by ordering a condition report include problems with internal structure, leaks, roof problems and damage to the floor.
Safety
The safety of your workers is of the utmost importance.
Therefore, you need to be doing everything possible to ensure your new premises is safe.
By thoroughly assessing your property, we help you avoid potential work place accidents.
Slip and fall injuries can be negated by having the floor assessed. Electrical dangers can be eliminated by identifying problems early and having the necessary work carried out.
This ultimately preserves your employees’ safety and ensures your business fulfils occupational health and safety requirements.
Avoid Disputes
No business wants to be involved in a dispute with their landlord regarding the condition of the property.
Upon leaving a property, disputes often arise around different interpretations of the original condition of the warehouse.
These differences can become lengthy, costly disputes which can be very damaging to your business both financially, and in terms of reputation.
Therefore, by having condition reports available which accurately document the state of the property at occupancy, you’ll be able to avoid this situation.
We hold your condition reports for up to 10 years, giving you plenty of time to access them when required.
