Frequently Asked Questions
What is Property Condition Assessment (PCA)?
A Property Condition Assessment, also known as a Property Condition Report or Commercial Building Inspection, is a complete inspection of a commercial real estate asset that includes all improvements and systems of each building on the property. It’s usually ordered as part of a commercial properties transaction’s due diligence.
Why do you need a Property Condition Assessment (PCA)?
PCAs can help lenders and buyers to determine how the asset’s financial performance will be affected by the property’s condition and site renovations.
What To Expect from a Property Condition Assessment (PCA)?
It may be the lender’s or buyer’s responsibility to commission a PCA with an approved provider as soon as the loan application is submitted. After that, the PCA provider must find out who knows the most about the property and send them a pre-inspection survey. To obtain as much information as possible prior to a site visit, this survey will ask questions such as the age of the roof, the age of the windows, whether there is aluminum wiring or galvanized pipe, and so on.
