Strategic consultancy advice and specialist surveys – Building trusted partnerships
Consultancy
At Thomas & Thomas we understand the property life cycle and offer strategic advice on a range of portfolio matters including effective asset management and capital expenditure planning.
We pride ourselves on building trusted, long-standing relationships with our clients and fellow project team consultants.
When in a management position we carefully select other sub-consultants and team members who share Thomas & Thomas’ values and ethos to ensure quality and cohesion within the project team.
We have the skill and ability to offer a wide range of surveys.
Dilapidations
Whether we are acting on behalf of the landlord or the tenant, our surveyors will guide you through the dilapidations process.
For tenants
We understand that dilapidations claims can be complex. Whether leaving an office, retail unit or industrial warehouse, we assist in reaching an agreement with the landlord and avoid the need for costly legal dispute.
For landlords
We provide a bespoke, tailored service, to prevent or resolve disputes in order to settle as efficiently and responsibly as possible.
Schedule of Condition Survey
We can offer photographic schedules of condition or more detailed written schedules. A Schedule of Condition is essential when appended to a lease. If a lease of business premises is acquired in the UK, it is likely to include a repairing liability. The Schedule will accurately record the condition of the premises at the point that it is occupied, thereby preventing the need to repair beyond the state the building was received it in. This can save hundreds of thousands of pounds at the end of the lease and usually costs less than £1000 to complete. A wise investment.
Planned Preventative Maintenance Surveys
We assist Property Managers and Building Owners with Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Schedules, which detail the anticipated expenditure over the next 5-15 years. This allows clients to more accurately forecast major works and budget effectively for maintenance.
By providing a strategic view of the property or properties, portfolio managers are able to make significant savings by packaging maintenance and refurbishment work across estates. Furthermore, they can be used to inform investment in plant and machinery, as well as improvements to energy efficiency, reducing maintenance costs in the long term.
Measured Surveys
We can provide measured surveys, ranging from basic Estate Agent and Lease plans, through to 3D Point Cloud laser scans of existing structures, detailing sockets, switches, outlets, cill heights and decorative detailing.
Drone Surveys
We can now provide surveys of previously inaccessible buildings, using the latest camera technology. High tech unmanned drones and hardware are used to gather high resolution imagery and data from the air, spatially referenced from the ground, to give the most accurate survey data possible.
