PLANNED MAINTENANCE PROGRAMMES

Whether you’re an owner-occupier or a landlord with internal repair tenancies, a well-prepared Planned Maintenance Report provides a clear, cost-effective strategy for maintaining your asset. By working closely with your Building Surveyor, proactive maintenance planning can prevent unexpected costs and protect long-term value.​ For tenants, a maintenance schedule supports compliance with lease obligations while safeguarding the quality of your fit-out, avoiding last-minute repairs and potential disputes.​

What a Good Report Includes

​5–10+ year programme of recommended works

Cost estimates for budgeting purposes (excluding inflation adjustments)

Guidance to help prioritise and phase maintenance tasks​

​

Keeping it Accurate

​Annual desktop reviews update costs in line with inflation

Full reassessments every 3–4 years account for changes in the property’s condition or use

​

​Why It Matters

Recent case law has strengthened landlords’ rights to refuse lease renewal if a tenant fails to maintain the property during the lease. Tenants who spread repairs and maintenance throughout the lease term, rather than deferring them, reduce this risk and maintain stronger negotiating positions.​​
