Praed Street, Paddington, W2
The Instruction
Stokemont’s Surveying team were instructed to assist an investment client with the purchase of a mixed-use property on Praed Street, Paddington.
A Commercial Building Survey was undertaken to provide independent technical due diligence on the property and identify matters requiring consideration as part of the acquisition.
The Property
The property comprised a mixed-use building situated on Praed Street, in a prominent and established location close to Paddington Station.
The combination of commercial and other accommodation required consideration of the building as a whole, including the condition of its principal elements and the implications of its mixed-use configuration.
Key Survey Findings
Our inspection considered the condition of the property’s principal external and internal building elements, together with matters relevant to its ongoing occupation and maintenance.
The survey identified areas requiring attention and provided advice on defects, maintenance requirements and matters where further investigation or specialist input may be appropriate.
The mixed-use nature of the property was also considered when assessing the practical implications of the findings for the client’s proposed ownership.
Our Advice
Our Surveying team provided practical advice on the condition of the property and highlighted matters requiring attention or further consideration.
The findings gave the client a clearer understanding of the building’s condition and potential maintenance requirements before proceeding with the acquisition.
The Outcome
The Commercial Building Survey provided the investment client with independent technical due diligence on a mixed-use property in a prominent central London location.
The instruction demonstrated the value of professional building surveying advice when acquiring mixed-use commercial property, helping clients understand the condition, maintenance requirements and potential areas of risk associated with a building before purchase.
