A Schedule of Condition (can sometimes be referred to as a ‘survey’) is a document which records the condition of a property – typically the neighbouring property to some proposed works.  The Schedule of Condition is usually undertaken before any works to a neighbouring site commence, and the primary purpose is to capture the condition of the property, which will then aid or suppress a potential claim of damage from neighbouring construction works.
