20 OTHER MATTERS SERVICES Electrics The electrics were located on the front wall. These have not been tested. ACTION REQUIRED: The Landlord or present Lessees should provide an Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) test and report by an NICEIC approved electrician or equivalent. Heating No heating sources were noted. Energy Efficiency Older properties such as this will not be as energy efficient as modern properties. We feel that energy efficiency will become very important in years to come and may well affect re-saleability of a property. We are advised this is already starting to happen to some extent in the office sector. There are many areas where energy efficiency and heat loss could be improved and reduced in this particular building, particularly with regard to insulation of the roofs. We would be more than happy to advise you further on this once you understand better your occupational requirements of the building. Disability Discrimination Act You should be aware that it is now a requirement to give average access to the disabled and make reasonable amendments to the property as is necessary to accommodate them. ACTION REQUIRED: You should ask to see if a report has been carried out in line with the Disabilities Act highlighting areas that can be improved or have been improved. 20

21 Asbestos Register We noted asbestos in this property. This was commonly used post war until it was banned only in the last ten or so years, although it is rumoured that it was still used after this point in time. It is now a requirement for any public building to have an asbestos register, indicating whether there is or is not asbestos and if so where it is. ACTION REQUIRED: An Asbestos Register should be provided by the outgoing tenant/landlord. You should note that work involving products containing asbestos is covered by Health and Safety legislation and you are recommended to seek the advice of the Local Authority Environmental Health Officer before proceeding with any such work. We are not asbestos surveyors. 21

22 LIMITATIONS As per our original Terms of Engagement, we would remind you specifically that: We have not inspected parts of the structure that were covered, unexposed or inaccessible during our inspection. We therefore cannot confirm that such parts are free from defect, structural or otherwise. We have not determined whether any hazardous materials such as high alumina cement, calcium chloride, asbestos etc have been used in the construction. Our report is for the use of the party to whom it is addressed above and no responsibility is accepted under the Third Parties Act or for any third parties who use this report in whole or in part. We have not carried out a comprehensive test of any electrical, mechanical or drainage services. We therefore cannot confirm that they are operational and in good condition. If you wish us to arrange tests please advise. We have not carried out or arranged for specialists to undertake any reports, for example an environmental report or an audit report upon the property. We are therefore unable to advise whether any contaminated or other adverse environmental issues affect the site.
