Property Condition Assessments

The objective of the Property Condition Assessment is to report on the general condition of building systems and to identify those aspects of the property’s physical condition which would require repair and/or replacement, and to estimate the cost associated with completing those repairs/replacements. The completion of such a report can assist in the determination of the risk associated with these costs to the property’s value.
