Pre-Lease Schedule of Condition Contact
Information on what to send when a schedule of condition is needed before lease completion and before repairing liability becomes fixed.
Why the lease wording matters
A schedule of condition is most useful where it supports the lease position rather than sitting separately from it. Seeing the draft lease or heads of terms helps identify the obligations the schedule is meant to support.
That makes it easier to judge scope, level of detail, and whether any particular elements of the property need special attention before the tenancy begins.

What to send
For a pre-lease instruction, the following are especially helpful:
- The draft lease, agreed heads of terms, or the relevant clauses if the whole lease pack is not yet available.
- Property address, floor plans, and any completion target dates.
- A short note on occupation type or any specific concerns about condition.
- Access details for inspection if these are already known.
What happens next
- The lease wording and property context are reviewed to understand what the schedule needs to achieve.
- Inspection scope, timing, and the likely reporting format are discussed so the record is ready before completion.
- You receive guidance on any additional information that would strengthen the schedule before the tenancy starts.
If time is short
Even a draft lease or heads of terms can be enough to begin planning. Early contact is helpful where completion dates are approaching.
