Property Condition Assessments for Richmond properties

What a condition assessment covers on a typical commercial or apartment property in Richmond.

Richmond occupies Lulu Island at the mouth of the Fraser River, home to Vancouver International Airport and a mix of agricultural land, retail and industrial property. We cover the full range in Richmond, British Columbia: commercial, industrial and apartment properties, assessed to ASTM format, for due diligence, financing and refinancing. We work from our Vancouver office, some 15 km distant, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.

The scope is set by two things: the property itself, and what the report needs to accomplish. The purpose drives the scope, so tell us if it's for a deal, a filing, planning or a disagreement, and we'll confirm coverage before quoting.

The licensed professional who seals the report also prepares it — and it's written so you can act on the findings directly, without needing to translate them yourself.

For the complete picture of what the report includes, see the property condition assessment page.

Common questions

Property Condition Assessments in Richmond

When do I need a property condition assessment in Richmond?

A change of ownership or a lender's requirement is the most common reason the report gets ordered. A current report is frequently a condition lenders attach before releasing commercial financing.

What standard do you follow?

We work to ASTM E2018-24, the guide's current edition, in place since it replaced the 2015 version on 1 January 2024.

What does the report include?

The work involves reviewing the property's records, speaking with people who know the building, walking every major system, and pricing out the deficiencies found — typically across a ten-year outlook.

How quickly can you attend?

Site visits typically happen within one to two weeks of engagement, with the finished report following two to three weeks later.
