Building Condition Survey, Defect Diagnosis & Maintenance Planning – Converted Mill, East Float Quay, Wirral

The Brief
Bryan was instructed to carry out independent technical due diligence on a six-storey Grade II listed office building ahead of a prospective acquisition, giving the client a clear picture of condition and compliance risk before exchange.

Our Approach
Our chartered surveyors led a multi-disciplinary assessment covering building fabric, services and fire safety, benchmarking the property against current regulations and preparing a costed five-year capital expenditure forecast to support the client’s investment model.

Key Findings

• Roof coverings and rainwater goods approaching end of life, needing phased replacement
• Listed building consent required before any facade or window works
• Fire compartmentation gaps between refurbished and original floors
• A five-year CAPEX forecast to inform acquisition pricing and budgeting

The Outcome
Our report gave the client an evidence-based view of the building’s condition and compliance position, supporting a confident, fully informed acquisition decision and a revised offer reflecting the identified works.
