Commercial Property Inspections in Keene, NH & the Monadnock Region

Commercial real estate is a huge investment, and just like when buying a house, it’s a good idea to have a commercial property inspection completed before you make a decision either way. If you’re considering purchasing a property here in Keene, New Hampshire or anywhere in the Monadnock region, hire True North—an inspector that is trained and certified to look for issues with the property and prepare the findings in an ASTM-formatted report. This will give you a better idea of the future costs associated with the building—and whether to walk away or take the deal.

About Commercial Property Inspections

As you know, no two properties are exactly alike. There are two specific types of commercial property inspections that True North can provide, essentially covering all situations:

Property Condition Assessments

A Property Condition Assessment (or “PCA”), is an unbiased commercial real estate due diligence assessment that is useful for sellers, buyers, lenders, commercial property owners, investors, and insurance agencies. The outcome of the PCA is referred to as a Property Condition Report (or “PCR”). The information in a PCR is vital for forecasting expenses when preparing to purchase commercial real estate, maintaining a property that you already own, and more.

Facility Condition Assessments

If a commercial property consists of multiple buildings on one campus—such as dormitories at a school or university with on-site living—you’ll need a Facility Condition Assessment (or “FCA”). This is essentially an in-depth inspection of all of the buildings, determining how they function and helping property owners determine how to move forward with any needed quality-of-life improvements. In an instance where a university sees a decline in students choosing to live on campus, an FCA can be extremely useful to identify the potential causes and how to effectively solve them.

What Are the Benefits of a Commercial Real Estate Inspection?

There are various reasons for having an inspection completed for a commercial property, depending on the parties involved:

• Negotiating the sale price of a commercial property, for the potential buyer of commercial real estate
• Approval of a loan, for the commercial real estate lender
• Insurance evaluations, for either the owner of the property or insurance agency
• Forecasting future maintenance costs or capital/strategic planning, for the owner of the property
• Triple-net leases, for either the commercial landlord or tenant where the tenant is responsible for building maintenance and repair
