# Schedule of Condition

*Lease structure · UK*

## Short definition

A photographic and written record of the premises' condition at lease commencement.

## Full definition

Appended to the lease, the Schedule of Condition caps the tenant's repair and [dilapidations](/glossary/dilapidations) obligations to the standard recorded. Essential on older buildings. Commission a chartered building surveyor — do not rely on photos alone.

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

Schedule of Condition is part of the lease structure vocabulary that institutional [Class A](/glossary/class-a) occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across UK markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the UK definition alongside the global standard so [cross-border](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
