- Stock Condition Survey
When carrying out Stock Condition Surveys (SCS), surveyors check many buildings to assess their condition and report on what should be dealt with now and what should be dealt with in the future. Most of the information they have is practical and they draw on it regularly to plan and choose prices when rolling maintenance requires it. Just one property or many can be chosen for the survey.
When should you do a Stock Condition Survey?
When a person rents a property, they are responsible for maintaining it in a proper state unless the repairs are the landlord’s task. It is clear that liability issues can also occur when a property owner brings action against another for damages inflicted by a third-party. Customers hope that the companies they use will supply them with a product that meets their expectations.
Clients also receive an honest review of their properties which identifies anything that might need repair soon and helps with future decisions about finances
What is the purpose of a Stock Condition Survey in Canterbury?
The surveyors in Canterbury have experience in doing condition reports on properties and big portfolios.
Additional needs can be handled by our team as they are able to organise Specific Defect or Damp Report surveys together with the Stock Condition Survey, reducing the number of necessary site visits.
In addition, as part of the assessment, surveyors may identify health and safety problems and pose concerns related to not meeting the Decent Homes Standard. The decent home standard outlines the minimum requirements that a house must have to be rented.
It is important for any landlord or property owner to let surveyors point out any dangers or issues that don’t comply with regulations. Good maintenance of your assets is both practical for your business and required by law.
The information collected can guide future activities that include the management and allocation of assets by some local housing authorities, landlords and social housing providers. In addition, it will allow authorities in that area to make choices and allocate resources for future housing more effectively.

Public institutions, business investors, private firms and charities have traditionally managed social housing. Currently, our panel of Canterbury stock condition surveyors is producing cyclical reports for local authorities, councils, schools, colleges and universities.
Projects of all kinds are handled by the team of Chartered Surveyors. They can handle large-scale contracts, as well as small or large homes or commercial spaces.
