Navigating Retail Property Inspections: Essential Insights for Investors and Lessees

Retail property inspections are critical for a variety of commercial spaces, from small facilities such as pad sites and individual suites, to larger complexes like malls, shopping centers, and power centers. These inspections are invaluable for investors, lessors, and both current and prospective lessees.

Given the competitive nature of the retail market—both in terms of product/service niche and operating costs, primarily lease expenses—understanding a property’s physical condition is crucial. It serves as a safeguard against unexpected maintenance and repair costs that could significantly impact overhead. A detailed inspection report equips clients with essential information to fully understand the property they are considering, reducing their risk and potentially saving thousands of dollars.

Many retail properties operate under net lease or triple-net lease agreements, making commercial property inspections particularly significant for both lessors and lessees. Such inspections provide lessees with realistic expectations regarding ongoing maintenance and future repairs, and help prevent disputes between landlords and tenants regarding the building’s condition throughout the lease term.

About the Commercial Property Inspection

Our inspectors adhere to the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP), the accepted industry guideline for commercial inspections. This comprehensive process not only provides an understanding of the overall physical condition of the property but also details the major systems and components, assessing their physical and functional states. The resulting report highlights the property’s strengths and identifies any potential deficiencies, including deferred maintenance issues, ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the property’s condition.
