BAS Property Consultants were instructed by New Forest Print Finishing Ltd to prepare a detailed Schedule of Condition for two industrial units in Verwood, supporting their lease agreement and protecting the client’s dilapidations position at lease expiry. Acting as trusted building surveyors serving Southampton, Hampshire and the wider South Coast, BAS delivered a fast, accurate and commercially focused solution. The instruction required the precise recording of the condition of the industrial units prior to lease commencement, ensuring clarity for both landlord and tenant and reducing the risk of future disputes. With a very tight turnaround, accuracy and efficiency were critical to safeguarding the client’s interests and supporting fair lease negotiations. The on-site inspection was undertaken by Lauren Robbins and Sophia Heighway, who carried out a thorough internal and external survey to capture the existing condition in full detail. To enhance the quality of the report, Nick Miles MRICS utilised advanced drone technology to obtain aerial imagery, providing clear visual records of roof coverings and external elements that are often difficult to inspect safely and efficiently. Despite the challenging timescales, BAS Property Consultants delivered a comprehensive Schedule of Condition report within just three days of inspection, achieving a record turnaround. The final document provided high-quality photographic and written evidence, giving the client confidence and long-term protection against unnecessary dilapidations claims. This project demonstrates BAS’s strength in combining experienced surveyors, modern technology and clear communication to deliver reliable building consultancy services across Southampton, Hampshire and the South Coast. By working collaboratively and efficiently, BAS continues to support occupiers and landlords with practical, cost-effective property advice tailored to real-world commercial pressures.
