I have just reviewed a survey carried out on an industrial property I own, it says "Due to the age of the building, asbestos may be within the fabric of the building. Our inspection was only of a limited visual nature and we cannot give any assurances that previous uses on the site, or in the surrounding areas, have not contaminated sub-soils or ground waters. In the event of contamination being discovered, further specialist advice should be obtained"
There must be a book issued to surveyors that contain all the disclaimers that they charge us to bloat out their reports so they can justify their fees.
Here is another one from the same survey: "The property will need to compete on rent and rent free contributions in order to perform in line with its peers" Well blow me down, I am so grateful for those words of wisdom.
Here is another one from the same survey: " We recommend a program of planed preventative maintenance is carried out" Fantastic advice.
But here is the best one of them all:- "We are of the opinion that the property is over rented" Well I will have to immediately contact all the tenants and offer them a rent reduction, even the ones with 10 years left on the lease!
