Commercial Property Surveys in Lincoln & Lincolnshire
RICS commercial building surveys, schedules of condition, dilapidations and valuations for offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use property — helping owners, occupiers and investors across Lincoln, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
What is a commercial property survey?
A commercial property survey (or building survey) is a detailed inspection of a commercial building’s condition — its structure, fabric, services and defects — giving you the facts before you buy, lease, sell or invest. It highlights risks, likely repair costs and matters to raise in negotiations.
Whether you’re acquiring an office, taking a lease on a shop, or managing an industrial unit, our RICS surveyors provide clear, commercially-focused advice you can act on with confidence.

Commercial survey FAQs
What does a commercial property survey cover?
It assesses the building’s structure, fabric, services and defects, sets out likely repair costs and priorities, and flags matters to raise before you buy, lease or sell.
Do you provide dilapidations advice?
Yes — for both landlords and tenants. We prepare schedules of dilapidations and negotiate fair settlements at lease end, and can record a schedule of condition at the start of a lease to limit liability.
Do you survey offices, retail and industrial units?
Yes. We survey offices, shops and retail, industrial and warehouse units, and mixed-use property.
Can you value the property too?
Yes. We provide Red Book commercial valuations alongside condition surveys where needed.
How much does a commercial survey cost?
It depends on the size, age and type of the building. We agree a clear fixed fee up front once we understand the property and your requirements.
