Introduction

If you are looking to occupy an existing building or part of a building you will need to assess whether the building is suitable for your use. In addition to suitability a BSR often enables you to negotiate your purchase or lease price, subject to the amount of up-grade works required.

If you’re looking to sell a building you should know up front the issues with your building.

Does your insurer need expert advice on sprinklers etc?
